• 05:08:18: @Glinner they will come around, in time, Graham. Even the grumpy. Soon, all will join us in our Twitter Kingdom. And then - to the Stars!
  
• 05:14:51: Right. I found the gym, exercised, dressed, and am now off to spend a day in pre-production on a silent movie. 36 hours till Edinburgh.
  
• 05:19:33: @saifulmusa that film is @avary's not mine.
  
• 08:21:30: Talked to location manager, interviewing crew, chewing over budget. Also waved at Lenny Henry who appeared and was rude about my hair, bless
  
• 09:21:35: @mandyesque the one she thinks is mullety is the one on the back of American Gods. I just think it looks like a bad hair day..,
  
• 09:24:12: People keep being excited about the silent movie script. Which brings me-the-writer joy and fills me-the-director with nerves.
  
• 09:32:17: It's #followfriday: Wordmongers all in different ways: @bengoldacre, @corydoctorow, @scalzi, @leahmoore, @glinner, @joe_hill, @greatdismal.

• 12:05:35: Well, I checked http://isitsaturday.net and it defintely wasn't Saturday. Probably should have checked http://isitfriday.org in retrospect.
  
• 12:57:15: Listening to my producer talk to potential film editors. I want an editor with poetry and magic in his/her soul. Hope to find one tomorrow

• 18:38:04: @BaronessHeather it does, doesn't it?
  
• 18:38:53: @lydianguy quiet is fine. I want a sense that there's something happening inside, though.
  
• 18:39:23: @MugOfGasoline this is my film.
  
• 18:44:00: @case71 @Dominitus @flippantfilms @pinkraven @hwickham @JessersLA if in London & for real, get CVs to Hilary Bevan Jones, Endor Productions.

• 19:03:02: @LHRodriguez Oh good. I hope they like it.
  
• 19:04:10: @RodriguezRafa It's something you can Google - longer than 140 chars.
  
• 19:12:53: Back in hotel room. Wishing I was a bit less jetlagged. Wonderful dinner with the Benns, @hollyherself, and my scary goddaughter(plus one).
  
• 19:13:40: @sheepwithblogs I thought it was about the patterns described by classic fairy tales.
  
• 19:28:34: @sheepwithblogs fascinating. What did you take form the last verse, then?
  
• 19:29:26: @MsClara it's because you're really funny, and you tell me things I didn't know before. Also, because you're a beetle.
  
• 19:32:06: @fpinternational ah. Wish I could've been there.
  
• 19:36:09: @JMcManamy say hello to Jeanie for me!
  
• 19:47:59: @sheepwithblogs interesting. Thanks.
  
• 19:48:37: @Maudelynn Me? I said nothing. Didn't even think it.
  
• 20:24:00: @peelinganorange Do you really think the writer has any control over the price of the books?
  
• 20:31:07: I was asked for something of mine appropriate to be read aloud at a Wedding. Anyone read anything I'd written at a wedding - & if so what?
  
• 20:54:47: @peelinganorange um. You do know that Watchmen is $19.99 and Sand:The KIndly Ones is longer than Watchmen and $19.99, don't you?
  
• 20:56:18: RT aha! A wise not-cynical suggestion @blueinsideout: @neilhimself What about the wedding poem you wrote at http://bit.ly/3ZWbK
  
• 20:56:50: @docbrite Oh Poppy. I love you. With attack flamingos.
  
• 20:59:41: But i like all the other strange cynical upside down this-made-me-happy-at-a-wedding quote or story suggestions too.
  
• 21:31:56: @lefthandpenguin no. Why would I want something I'd written read at my wedding? That would be weird.
  
• 21:35:18: Right. Up too late. Meetings soon, so I'd better sleep. Here's a diabolical video from the lovely @herasings http://bit.ly/h32dd
