I can write an essay on Moira\’s premiere dress  Last week I wrote about what Schitt\’s Creek meant to me, and why I needed to write about it. (You can read that here ) My \’Inklings\’ book with 404 Ink aligns perfectly with my academic and fangirl brain because that\’s where this whole thing started.Continue reading “How I accidentally wrote a book on Schitt\'s Creek instead of Angels in America”

Today 404 Ink launched their Crowd Funder which includes my book Love that Journey for me: The Queer Revolution of Schitt’s Creek. This book came about because I quoted Dan Levy to make an argument about Angels in America in another book. If you know me, weirdly that probably makes perfect sense. If you don’t…we’llContinue reading “Love that Journey for me- why I’m writing about Schitt’s Creek at last.”

I wrote a little pink book on a little Canadian show that means a lot to me. You can order a copy here It\’s Millenial PINK my friends  This book came about because I quoted Dan Levy to make an argument about Angels in America in another book.

I wrote a version of this blog post back at the end of last summer. I’d just jumped back into Fan Fiction for the first time in nearly 10 years. And it had meant a lot in not just the difficulties of 2020, but in the mess of my own head. I’ve taught fanfiction inContinue reading “For the Love of Fic”

 Writing about achievements in 2020 seems redundant, it also seems insensitive (I’m looking at you, anyone posting about their income, new home or generally bragging, read the room my dudes). But I did want to spend time thinking, and fittingly writing, about how my relationship with writing changed in 2020.  I preface this with, ifContinue reading “I Wrote My Way Out- on writing in 2020”

I resolutely wasn’t doing a round up for 2020. I mean what on earth were we going to round up?  This year has, with no exaggeration, broken our hearts in theatre. There’s no other way to put it.
