“Things don’t happen quickly, they happen suddenly.” These were the words of my best friend to me this weekend, when I was reflecting over the last year of my life and writing career. This isn’t something I very often do but I was prompted to do so last week by…

If you follow me on any social medias you probably already know that, a month ago today, my directorial debut No More Wings was crowned Best Narrative Short at Tribeca Film Festival. And, whilst we’re here if you’ve not seen already, No More Wings will have its worldwide online premiere…

It’ll be three years since I last wrote a medium post on April 3rd, I’ve just discovered. The reason for this hiatus? I can’t remember ever making a definitive decision to suddenly stop posting but what I do know is that for the last few years I have been increasingly…

A year ago, today, I decided that I no longer wanted to write. For those unaware of this decision, it may come as a bit of a surprise if you’ve paid attention to the year I’ve had. Let’s go back to December 28th, 2015. It was the early hours where…
