Folks I have moved house. Kinda.
Over on Substack - you can find me, for more of the posts you read here faithfully since 2008...
I know, I know, when I quit my script ed job in 2014 and began writing scripts, suddenly I had somewhere new to put my writing skills (whatever they were) and I wrote here less frequently. It coincided with me being around more for my kids, who were then aged 7 and 3. Gosh that feels forever ago...
In the meantime I have managed to keep the wolf from the door as a screenwriter, moved house (and gutted it), stayed married, added a fox red lab to the family and completed a degree in counselling... (as well as counselled at two schools and Rape Crisis). Yes, I have been busy.... But you (or any regular reader) will know all that jazz anyway.
Start of 2025 I have decided to make the leap to Substack and to go back to what I loved so much - posting blogs/articles on a weekly basis... Just like I used to here. What can you expect from 'Total Rewrite?' Well Crummymummywhoshrinks was something I wanted to do and then never quite had the time - but now, I don't need permission or a commission to be an agony aunt - instead, honing my counsellor skills and life knowledge - I will offer up help to any who needs it. Plus, being a writer is a lonely old game - but how does one become a writer? Survive as one? all the nitty gritty of writing life will be laid bare.
And... There will be interviews. Oh yes. Plus musings on life. Honesty about what it is like to rewrite your career; stages of life, such as when your kids leave home; rewriting fecking scripts - and the scripts we have in our heads about ourselves; rewriting what women in their 50s are meant to be like - because frankly, fuck any rule about that.
You can catch me HERE.
So please, come find me. At the moment it is FREE - just like every post here was. It would be great to see you all again.
Love CM X
