Writing is what I love to do!
I'm an avid writer, its my passion. Well I say passion but really it is something I like to do, mostly as part of my University course but I am currently in the Jake versus Jake episode of wanting to write in my spare time but haven't the time. One might argue that there is always time to write but for my personally i have to be in a certain mood and this mood is hard to find Into to mention stay in this state of mood. Ill be walking, running, sitting down, lying down when I'm not sleeping like a head vampire and ill find this powerful urge to write down the adventures and characters that are being created in my own mind with no warning or trigger. It just happens. Only a lot of the time I'm in a time or moment where i have no access to a pen or paper and no thick toilet role isn't accessible in public toilets. This happens to me regularly, most days id say, no no wait, this happens to me everyday. I'll be ready to write, ill have the motivation and drive a unpredictable guy like myself needs to work to his highest potential of written magic but all of a sudden that mood fizzles out as quickly as it came.
Despite my the lack of motivation that often acts as the monkey complete with a nappy, on my back, when I do get going the results are more than compelling. From my style of writing, otherwise known as my consciousness leaking onto a piece of paper, I create a script, a world, a weird and bumpy ride like no other. My full out intention when ready to write a script is to delve into the unknown, an unknown that has the ability to unnerve readers or take them to a place they are not familiar with. Do not for one second assume I set out to write with a purpose of offending my audience, this is not going to get the acclaim I want and its definitely not going to share the pleasure from which I personally get from my creations.
I write to give a spectacle of the abnormal, whether it be characters that we think we know to begin with then all of a sudden they do things or act in a way not commonly associated with people of that culture or age. A good example of this is in my latest script, 'Vanilla Vogue', chronicling the troubles encountered by a six year old girl named Leaf and 12 year old best friend Kadie. We all have relatives a similar age to these girls, be it a sister, daughter or niece, but my six and twelve year olds are like no other in nature or nurture. I specifically wrote them in an original way to shock readers, I decided to do this to create a pair of characters that we are not used to, in turn grabbing hold of the attention of whoever reads my script. Controversy may arise following the actions of the girls, particularly the kiss they share, the acts of prostitution not to mention the Amish group who kidnap them and the deformed admirer of there's, Pluto.
Following the first reading of Vanilla Vogue I got the exact reaction I wanted but a barrage of comments I didn't welcome. The majority consensus was one of confusion but there were laugh out loads aplenty from the first page to the last. The story was hard to follow judging by the feedback but I like to push the storyline to the background, its secondary to me, to allow more time for character development. The one person who did understand the plot and followed explained it to the others proved that there was a story some where behind all the confusion but it didn't help the descriptions such as 'It was a selection of scenes that weren't going anywhere' and 'It was joke after joke without a point'. Not all scripts have universal praise, I accepted the more negative criticisms and soaked up the positive feedback, smiling with pride.
The laughs I heard roar through the room is why I right. For that forty minutes of reading through my script I took we all got transported to an alternative reality, a reality that we have not experienced before. However crazy it may be it has what it has enough madness and confusion that makes you want to read and seek answers to what you do not understand. If I write a script that gets a reaction, negative or positive and at the same time a script that keeps the readers in my new world, who read to the end albeit because of pure curiosity then I have been a success.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, stay alert, there is more on the way.

ts a shame, oh its a real shame alright because I'm not simply one of these word creatures that can sit down with turtle shell glasses and write automatically, no sprinkle fingers, no song, no build up, no nothing. They choose their method of writing, this often depends on hunger levels and blurry vision levels, then they are off. They start their work, go through the emotions, use fake tears when necessary and finish before anyone got suspicious.
I AM NOT ONE OF THESE PEOPLE.
I want to write but at the times I'm too busy or uninspired to write. When the times comes and I'm in the right place that is when my low level talent for writing comes to the fore. Ill be in my room and the laptop will be on and as the stardust falls I will find myself typing out the original or wacky ideas that have been good enough to stay in my memory dam. 'Superb darling', I say to myself whilst I fold one leg over the other and sip my coffee from my big-bigger mug, (From Disneyland) a place me and my brother christened Disneyland Auschwitz.
