Embarking on a career in writing was never a formalised decision for me, I kind of slipped into it and splashed around as I started to create the worlds that would eventually become the basis for 1 of 26, my debut release.
It was during that process I realised that crossing boundaries within the accepted standards of literature excited me. It pushed me to creative highs and constantly made me question what is possible within the framework of a book; and in fact, made me consider whether a book should have a framework.
A narrative that is fluid and alive, that transcends what we understand to be the norm and pulls us in new directions; that is what I strove to achieve when writing 1 of 26.
Intertwining what we dare to believe could be fact and lacing it with fiction inspires me.
Blurring the lines. Bringing the reader into the experience. Offering them something unique. Taking the written word into new directions.
I wanted to create a narrative that compels the reader to explore and discover new facets to the story, strands that exist outside the confines of the page.
I feel that 1 of 26 is more than just a story, I like to think of it as living literature, something that is organic and still evolving; something that is thriving within its own ecosystem.
What makes me tick? Well I guess I’m influenced by the environments within which we exist. Immersing myself into those worlds and pulling out the most relevant points have helped me construct the narrative.
A narrative that thrives off the back of fake news, the way social media shapes our interactions and how the decisions we take now shape our future; for each decision there is an equal, and opposite, repercussion that we must learn to adapt to and live within.
Music has played a constant role in my creative work. The beating soundtrack in the background was always there to shape my mood, maybe even shape the story.
I also look to the great directors of movie world, Kubrick probably being the one that influenced me the most. Every frame had value, every line of dialogue drove the story and helped bring us closer to the characters. That is how I see this book, something that in many ways is visual, but equally driven by the humans that lie at the core of the story.lihat lebih sedikit
