2) Why do you write? What encourages you the most to write, as in elements of your life or personality?
|
I wish i had the time to write seriously, all my time is taken with writting stuff for collage, so the only encouragement currently is my environment. Though i have played around with a film script idea with a friend for two years or so. Being creative is the driving force behind that and hoping it will launch a career of a life time.

3) What inspires you most to write or what environment do you write the best in?
|
Environment to write in, i'm not too fussy, generally like to have music going helps stimulate the mind and fi you know what you'll be writing about you can almost have a theme tune to inspire and get you in the mood.

4) What genre do you enjoy writing the most? Please explain.
|
I have dabled in a few genres and to tell you truth, i could give a definate one, i like to be factual and realistic (i.e the reverse to what i read), writing about the things going on around me is also fun.

5) Who do you write for? What audience is your work intended to be read by?
|
As i say current Uni work. But the more creative side of me does it really just for me, whether someone else happens to like it, is just a pleasant suprise.

6) What do you try to accomplish when you write? When you write, what do you hope the reader is absorbing as your work is presented before them?
|
I just want the person to lose themself in whatever i have done, a page turner must be the ultimate goal. For my Professors i just want to agree with everything i say and sometimes say "oh thats interesting, i hadn't thought of that".

7) Would you take up writing as a serious career or is it one now? Please explain the reasons for choosing so.
|
Good question, currently that lies in the balance, have always considered journalism but that would be the only writing career i would consider, books and films yuo just need too many orginal ideas.

8) Do you hope to one day publish a novel or collection of your short writings or have you? If you have please list them.
|
Hope is a strong word, i guess i would like something to be published, but would not feel a failure if nothing were.

9) Imagine please that such a publication is taken in these different ways and how would your life be different: if the work is a success? If it is a failure? If either has occurred, how did it alter your life?
|
If a success then i'd gain a sense of achievement, which would be great. Failure would not stop me from writing and i'd carry on just the same.
