A vital part of my development of writer is to write about everything and anything. When I was younger, I was a big fan of fan fiction and I have contributed to the fandom myself. The ones that I was particularly interested in was “Harry Potter” and “Buffy the vampire slayer” as well as the marvel comics universe. I understand that it can be a fiery issues. There are some who believes that fan fiction is not truly a form of writing. Then, there are some who believes that fan fiction is a great way to sharpen your writing skills. A notable work that started off as fanfiction was the “fifty shades of grey” trilogy. It was originally a Twilight fan fic. I believe that fan fiction is a good way to practice your writing skills and gain readers. After all, you’ve got a readily available characters and an already established universe. However, its advantages can be a curse. Unless you want to write alternative universe fan fiction, I found that it can sometimes be too constricting. Readers so...

                           I love listening to music and I also love writing. So, it is only natural to try and do both.  I know many a writers who prefers their quiet space whilst writing but there are also people who love to listen to music and write. For me, I am in the middle. Although I love listening to music and also writing, it can sometimes prove a distraction. My mind wanders when I hear music and it can be hard to juggle both tasks at once. I adore different types of music. However, I find that not every music agrees with my writing. Hence, to compromise and to find a happy medium I try to listen to classical music whilst writing. The lack of lyrics makes it easier for me to concentrate on the writing tasks at hand. I also love listening to film scores whilst writing. In fact, I prefer film scores to classical music. They are more upbeat and I believe they kind of tell a story. Hans Zimmer film scores are great. So, what side of the fence do you stand on? Do you think writin...

As you guys will probably know, I am still in the process of writing “the angels of fire” trilogy. For the first novel “The Damnation Plays” I am currently on my third draft. This means that I’ve written two other earlier versions and have slowly streamlined and honed my writing and ideas to make it into a publishable novel. However, I am aware that it won’t all be ready even then because I still need to send it to my trustworthy and friendly beta reader. I’ve written novels before but I’ve never published them. They’re somewhere hiding away in my proverbial attic waiting to see the light of the day.  However, this is different. I am planning to publish the “Angels of fire trilogy”. This brings another different set of pressures upon me as an author because I want to give my readers the best possible experience reading my novel. I’ve also discovered the flaws of my novel whilst writing the third draft. For example, I’ve got a minor character getting hurt in a pivotal scene but in the s...

I have always been fascinated by the comics as a medium to tell stories. I have always wanted to do a graphic novel once I’ve finished my novels. However, I am aware it takes time and great commitments to get one done. I can draw and write so that’s a bonus. There’s an idea spinning round in my head at the moment and that’s the spinoff for the “angels of fire” series which will focus on a new character who makes his first appearance in the condemnation games. The idea isn’t fully fleshed out and neither are the art works but I decided to upload it up on wordpress anyways. Enjoy and tell me what you think about the “teaser” which I’ve uploaded. I know the colours are bad and the dialogues don’t give too much away but I’ll explain it anyways. It’s about a guy, Ruben, who decides to cut off his engagement, throw the ring away and set up a very “special agency” in the heart of London in a fictional place called Grayeham. Did I forget to mention he has a very beautiful secretary?  

I have been slaving away at assignments from the course I am doing at the moment. It's not surprising then that my writing has taken a backseat. Funnily enough, the assignments has the same hand in date as another professional work I had to hand in. Hence, my hands have been full throughout the week. Furthermore, I have been working all throughout. All this has made me realise what a great thing good time management skills are. I try to plan my time but it is so easy to get distracted by browsing the internet or watching the latest film on TV. On the other hand, I can't wait till I finish everything and have some time for myself. My novel, the damnation Plays is taking shape now that I am on to the third draft. I can't wait for it to be proofread and finished - that will be sweet. The Sequel, the condemnation games is still in the process of being done. However, there had been some parts in which I've been stumbling and wondering which direction the novel is going to go...

Found this quote and thought to share it: "If your heart is still beating, then they didn't break your heart." :-)

Hi guys, I have finally jumped on the bandwagon that is Wattpad and decided to post a story onit.
