Here is a treat for you - three drafts in one post. This story is another one that began life as an exercise in my storytelling class. To cut a short story shorter we were basically given 3o minutes to tell a complete story in three paragraphs. I outright failed the exercise but did manage … Continue reading 3 Acts
A to Z: Reversed
A new challenge to myself. Zealous young xenophobic warriors violently uphold terrible statutes, robbing querulous peoples of necessary millions. Lauded killers jaw idiotic hatred galvanising fooled everymen. Diplomats counsel bravery always. Zero yearly x-rays. Why veto urgent treaties? Surely responsible questions posed, offer no mischief. Leaders knock judicious investigation, halting genuine freedom, earning deserved cusses … Continue reading A to Z: Reversed
The Neighbours
One of my screenwriting teachers once told us that, when we're struggling for ideas, good practice is to write down a whole bunch of things that piss you off. My list got up to about 15 things ranging from the obscure and petty to the obvious and legitimately concerning. At some point during the compilation … Continue reading The Neighbours
9 Reasons I Want(ed) to Study Creative Industries
Back in 2010 I was working a really shitty job and hating almost everything about life. I had lost any 'spark' that I may ever have had and I needed desperately to change things up. After work one night I went and had dinner at a friends house and she suggested (or maybe I suggested … Continue reading 9 Reasons I Want(ed) to Study Creative Industries

I'm getting a little bit more adventurous with my 'Exit' photography i.e. I'm trying to always be ready to take a photo of an interestung sign and I'm being a little bit more selctive of the exit signs I do photograph; there are only so many time you want to see that same white man … Continue reading This Is Not An Exit.

This is Not An Exit. (Part 1)
Oh wait, it is. Sometime last year, with no discernable rationale, I decided to start taking photos of exit signs. Clearly I thought I was being uber-trendy and making some kind of subtle comment about our throw-away consumer society blah blah blah etc. As such this initiative of mine lasted all of a month before … Continue reading This is Not An Exit.

American Psycho
Even more A to Z
A little bit of procrastination as I contemplate how to go about writing the next section of the unorthodox memoirs I first posted back in October last year. I plan on finishing said section before I turn 30 in less than 3 days. I'll admit, these are my strongest ones. *** After basketball camp, David … Continue reading Even more A to Z
Electric Bloom
Last month i caught up with a friend of mine who also fancies himself a writer (and with good reason). We caught up to discuss various projects that we'd like to get off the ground and such as well as to record a pilot podcast where we discuss movies for 90 minute or so. On … Continue reading Electric Bloom
