Lights! Tinsel! Action!
When mild-mannered Penny lands her dream job as a screenwriter she thinks all her dreams have come true. Until she discovers she has to co-write the script with renowned womaniser, Brad. As the deadline looms and the tension builds between the two writers will Penny be able to write her own happy ending?

In December 2020 I entertained my friends myself by creating an alternative advent calendar. Instead of opening a cardboard calendar window each day and finding a chocolate, I wrote fictional film blurbs with a seasonal twist. It was a daily dose of joy during a properly miserable time. This is the one that kicked it off on 1 December 2020.

Perhaps it’ll inspire you to try a little festive writing this season?
