working in process.

finally the good stuff.

after my ex and i broke up, i found it pretty hard to write (as if i didn’t before) so ultimately i took a break and it’s only recently that i’ve been getting into it again.

back in 2020, i wrote an eleven episode series based on a situation myself and some others were in when i was sixteen. you know how it is when you’re sixteen and everything feels like it’ll feel that way forever? well i wanted to capture that. i wrote this show and i was proud of myself. i mean at the same time as my degree i wrote an entire tvshow? - looking back, obviously i think it’s crap now and while my hearts in the right place, my story felt forced and wrong.

the show shouldn’t have been about me, the story isn’t my story. it was hers.

so, five years later i’m revisiting it. having grown up has given me hindsight. now it’s not the same, almost completely different. i’ve disconnected myself and anyone i knew from the story, while yeah, it’s based on the same situation i found myself in at sixteen, it’s not the same. it’s still very different.

the first episode is called Mia, that’s also the name of the main character. Mia is stubborn, she stands up for what she believes in, even if she’s afraid. despite the hurt she’s endured, she ensures her friends are okay. she meets Remi on a trip to a museum, where the both hit it off.

i cannot stress enough that it’s not a love story, a story about love and hurt and growing up, yes. but it’s far from a love story.

I’m excited to be writing it again, it’s different and i’m looking forward to where it goes. but i’m sure i’ll keep you guys posted, who knows maybe one day i’ll upload one of the og scripts?

until then, tell your loved ones that you love them,
