THREAD: this may seem a strange time for a year in review, but exactly 12 months ago, I embarked on the first stage of my #writing career. It& #39;s been a kind of post-uni gap year, laying foundations and building up a portfolio. I thought I& #39;d do a bit of reflecting to celebrate...
I absolutely hate blowing my own trumpet, but I think it& #39;s important that I appreciate my achievements and all the work I& #39;ve put in, rather than constantly pushing forward and ignoring all the steps I& #39;ve made to get to where I am today. So, time to reflect!

The first big project was a #tvshow I started at @arvonfoundation with the help of @DianeSetterfie1 and @RussLitten. It took me a few months but I wrote all six episodes in full. It& #39;s the longest script I& #39;ve written and I& #39;m seriously proud of it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd-Gesicht"> https://twitter.com/EmReaderWriter/status/1219567974492844032?s=20">https://twitter.com/EmReaderW...
February was a flurry of @NewsjackBBC submissions, resulting in two one liners and one sketch making the edits. I was lucky enough to see them performed live with @hthjones. Getting paid for my work was a pretty big deal for me! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet"> https://twitter.com/EmReaderWriter/status/1232389498337710080?s=20">https://twitter.com/EmReaderW...
Pre-pandemic, I pursued several other passions and hobbies. #Cello is a massive part of my life and I& #39;ve loved being a part of @lvgorchestra and @LMTOrch

Doing the lighting for @Hivemindimprov has also been incredible. Such an epic, hilarious bunch of people and so much to be learned from the tech booth!
Then a big old #pandemic hit. Luckily, my friends and family helped me transform my stage play into a two-part #AudioDrama. With some advice from @PodiumMe, I learned how to edit and produce it myself, and it now has worldwide listens!

Soon after, @RaggedFoils turned my #monologue into a #podcast episode starring @SharitaOomeer. It was incredible to hear a professional actor bring my words to life https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen"> https://open.spotify.com/episode/7gFY6M7Dy8CnUy3PREv7so?si=bu82LfRyQkKT7IY8msmE5A">https://open.spotify.com/episode/7...
All through the year, I& #39;ve been submitting to competitions with mostly negative results. June and July brought better news, with shortlists and honourable mentions from @OwdyadoTheatre, @ScriptsandCo and @Ghostcowprods. It makes a huge different to know judges respect my work https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erleichtertes Gesicht">
In August, one of my scripts was performed at a Dapper Sandwich scratch night. You can watch it here (skip to 01:31:00) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPbAFP459YI&list=PLFZIwUf0djAsNd_trQfEQ0ORXRvMehrM1&index=12&ab_channel=DanMcGarry">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Through it all, I& #39;ve been writing #monologues, #audiodrama, #shortfilms, TV pilots, treatments, attending #webinars, and doing every @writers_hq exercise I can find. I& #39;ve entered over 80 #competitions (thanks @bbcwritersroom https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">) and emailed over 50 #agents.
It hasn& #39;t been easy. I& #39;ve had big bouts of feeling uninspired. I get rejection emails constantly. Finding a healthy writing habit is really hard in a #lockdown. But I& #39;ve learned so much and I& #39;m really proud of what I& #39;ve achieved this year.
There& #39;s plenty more in the pipeline too! Juggling #writing and everything else is going to get harder from now on, but I& #39;ve got a promising script that someone wants to read and several projects on their way to being made. Stay tuned, this #writer is up and coming https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps">
