From Inner Mongolian snowstorms to African tick-bite fever, life has been the unlikely catalyst for my screenwriting odyssey. For ten years, I've been crafting stories, initially as a hobby to combat boredom during a week-long lockdown in Inner Mongolia during a blizzard. That first screenplay sparked a passion, leading to five completed scripts, though sadly, three vanished into the digital abyss, leaving me momentarily disheartened.
But as they say, the writing bug bites hard, and mine returned with a vengeance – quite literally – while recovering from tick-bite fever after a hike in the African bush.
My heart belongs to sci-fi (one of the dearly departed scripts!), but I've also explored the chilling realms of horror and thriller. Ironically, it's my horror scripts that resonate most with readers, a delightful surprise that fuels my creative fire.
My secret weapon? Infusing the ordinary with the extraordinary. Like many of you, I find inspiration in everyday life, twisting reality with a touch of the fantastical. It's a method that ignites my imagination and brings a unique flavor to my storytelling.
This is just the beginning of my creative exploration as I delve deeper into the craft of weaving captivating narratives.
Hail fellow well met.
