![]() Writing is important to me and stories ricochet in my head like a spilled bucket of bouncy balls. My inspiration comes from watching movies and my style strives to emulate everything I love from 80s popcorn cinema. Youthful adventures influence me the most and I draw inspiration from my own childhood as well as the movies I grew up with. The ideas are a plenty, however I battle a fearsome adversary… complacency. I have a habit of becoming consumed by an idea with an unquenchable desire to get it on paper. Creative energy is a powerful driving force, as any writer would know but my biggest problem is that when I am starting to properly flesh out a story, a new one comes to mind and the same unquenchable desire takes over. The previous story gets abandoned for a new one and in a vicious circle; the new idea will inevitably be ditched for another new one. I never abandon my stories and I always return to them… and at any given time I usually have several happening at once. It’s not an ideal way to go about writing and this turbulent method is probably doing my work a disservice. Focusing on just one story at a time would seem logical and I have tried… evidently I need to try harder. I write for myself. I create movies, which I would love to watch. I have no grandeurs of fame or wealth and I am under no illusion that my work would ever make it to the screen. I do it because I enjoy it… I just wish I could finish a script without new stories getting in the fucking way!
