The Insanity That Holds Me

I started writing when I was very young. School was replaced by strange lands and adventures. My early stories were ... questionable. But I soon got the hang of of coming up with a really good idea and turning it into a full story.

When I was 16, I tried my hand at screenwriting, as I had never been too good at writing a finished novel that was all the same quality. But a script, that was like making cereal or toast. Just choose your story and start writing. The descriptions didn't have to use fancy language and I could write exactly what I saw in my head.

Screenwriting became my talent. It was the thing I was good at. And boy did I enjoy it!
