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,

oliver g. signing off.

A year later.

hey.

woah, way over a year since my last post. what did i do? - well i stayed, until i didn’t.

i’m in liverpool now! - i have two cats and i’m getting back into writing after taking a break. break ups are hard and it takes real time to get over. working through that s=kind of pain sometimes means putting other things away for awhile, this being one of them.

i started a masters but i’ve had to take a break due to financial restrictions, but i'‘m alive and slowly, but surely getting back into writing and if you’re reading this, then it means i’m getting somewhere!

more to follow, can’t wait to be updating you all more regularly.

all love,

oliver g

now.

hey readers,

welcome to my new blog, i finally set up a website which is so exciting. i’ve been putting off completing it for months but finally, it’s so so soooo close to being finished.

for today, i wanted to write about now. about today, about the part of life i find myself in right now.

it’s a bit strange in all honesty - but recap! (for those funky few who might need one). so i worked for a ferry company for a season, it was great and quite frankly i loved every second. but alas the season ended and they don’t need me anymore - which i knew when i signed up. november comes and i need a job, quickly and i find one on indeed at this three star hotel. would you believe that my old manager works there and he essentially gets me the job of bar supervisor, so i’m doing bit for them, waking up crazy early and staying up crazy late for about a week until he tells me that they’ve no shifts for me but he said he’d contact me in december. december comes and i hear nothing but it’s too late to look for another job because i was heading home for the holidays. - at this point i had moved off of my boat (story for another day) and in with my partner. just before christmas, my partner and i decided that me staying with them and their flatmates wasn’t working greatly. we’re in each others space all the time, i had no income or really anyone else down here, so it seemed like a good decision (also since i’m moving to liverpool later this year, it just speeds up the process). so here i am now, at my partners kitchen table after talking about how it’s effecting us both. i’m debating leaving sooner, but i don’t know.

knowing you’re about to leave and have another fresh start is quite something, do i want to rush that? should i? not to mention my relationship - i’m just unsure on what it is i need to do next.
