🤩 We’re delighted that the actor Kevin McNally is Directing and Starring in Ketchup! ⬇️ As you can see from his video introduction, he’s excited too “I am really looking forward to working alongside a group of very talented people and coming up with something I think is going to be a really big hit!” #KETCHUPSITCOM

Lou picked up a postcard of the island’s banana plantations. “What were you thinking, Gee?” “Just wanted something different... a fruit that wasn’t round. That must have been when the boredom started setting in.” Gee: Part 10... my story about God on holiday. Link in comments.

His last six words changed the course of my life. ‘I’ll give you one more chance.’ I had a foot in the door. Now I needed to boot it off the hinges. Read my latest blog post. Link in the first comment.

My latest installment of Gee (God on holiday)... link in comments... It was true that Angela had only experienced 30 years on the planet. For the past two years, she’d been working in a back office in heaven where she’d tried to recreate what life was like before she’d been killed... #GodOnHoliday #DivineComedy #SatiricalFiction #SpiritualButSilly #HolyGapYear #SubstackWriters #HeavenlyHumour #IfGodWereReal #WhatWouldGodDo #KetchupChronicles #AmWriting #AmWritingFiction #WritersOfSubstack #SatiricalFiction #FictionWriter #QueryingAuthors #WritersLife #ManuscriptWishList #LitAgentSearch

Writing isn’t therapy. It’s the opposite. It’s self-inflicted surgery with a butter knife and a frozen bag of peas. You’re wide awake, fully aware, elbow-deep in your own internal organs trying to find something that resembles a story. Then you try to make it funny. Or meaningful. Or at the very least, readable. But we do it anyway. Because somewhere in the carnage, something true bleeds through. Something real. And that, somehow, makes it all feel worthwhile. And if that fails, there’s always biscuits (cookies to our American compadres). At least biscuits don’t smirk at your metaphors or bring up your unresolved daddy issues. Biscuits understand. Biscuits are our friend. NEVER try writing without biscuits. #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #AuthorLife #WritingIsHard #WritersOfX #CreativeWriting #WritingStruggles #AmWriting #WritersBlock #Storytelling #WritersMind #WritingHumor #AuthorStruggles #WritingMotivation #BiscuitsForWriters

If you’ve been talking to made-up people in your head all day. If you’ve killed someone off before breakfast (fictional, hopefully). If you’re rewritten one line 118 times and still hate it. It’s official. You’re a writer, you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. There are a brazilion of us out there googling stuff like ‘can you kill someone with a damp flannel’ or ‘can you die from eating too many Doritos’. You’re one of us, one of the many with Google search histories as incriminating as a teenager’s incognito tab. Congratulations… and welcome to the club. #ComedyWriting #SubstackWriters #WritersOfTwitter #BritishHumour #WritingCommunity

“Black coffee, burnt toast, no butter,” said Gee. Angela nodded, sneezed, and tried not to draw attention to the coffee stain growing on her crotch. Breakfast in a 5-star hotel with the Almighty and a sugar-stealing waitress named Svetlana. 📖 Read the latest:open.substack.com/pub/joecaw… #DarkHumor #ComedyWriting #DarkHumour #BritishHumour #GodOnEarth #SurrealHumour #SubstackWriters #FictionWriters
