One of our favourite parts of every guest episode is The Last 10, (ironically) 12 quickfire questions that help us get to know other writers on a far more personal level. So it felt only fair that we take the challenge ourselves too.

As a bit of a disclaimer, this episode was recorded way back in March 2025, just as the show was starting to take shape, so we might sound a little more youthful / a little less jaded. Or the opposite, listen and find out!

And here are the fabled Last 10 questions if you want to try them at home yourself:

1. **What was the first story you ever wrote?**

2. **What film or TV show made you say, "I want to be a writer"?**

3. **What’s the best and worst piece of writing advice you’ve ever received?**

4. **What’s a common mistake you see emerging writers make?**

5. **If you could go back and give yourself one piece of advice when starting out, what would it be?**

6. **What’s the most life-changing film or TV show you’ve ever watched?**

7. **What’s the worst film or TV show you secretly love?**

8. **What’s a film or TV show that perfectly captures how you feel about life?**

9. **What film haven’t you seen that you tell everyone that you have?**

10. **If you could erase one film or TV show from existence, what would it be and why?**

11. **If your life were a film, what would it be called and who would direct it?**

12. **What does ‘making it’ as a writer mean to you?**
