Love Back

When I was a child, my dreams took me soaring through the night sky where I popped into countless futures: an inventor, an explorer, a pilot, a firefighter. There were even serious futures that prickled at the edge of my night flights. Could I be a lawyer like my father or a programmer like Wozniak? But I am me. That's both a blessing and a curse. With a fertile imagination and deep aversion to commitment, I thought why settle for one future when I can have them all? As a novelist and filmmaker, I return to my night flights and recreate all the futures that once snatched my breath away.
In my waking hours, I'm a regular Joe. I get lost in books and love long, solitary walks. It's not uncommon for porridge to be the highlight of my day. Twice. Sometimes thrice. I love my porridge! My 15-year career in screenwriting earned me two Writer's Guild of South Africa Awards and more! A near-death experience got me to commit to my first novel. I guess writing is like giving birth. Painful but worth it when you see the baby.
I'm passionate about the written word. If I could go back in time, I'd teach my ancestors how to write, so their tales of great men and women wouldn't be lost forever. I dream of a world in which everyone reads to their heart's delight and can make their imagination soar. Help me create that world.
