Since 2017, I've dedicated myself to studying narrative theory, from Aristotle to the structuralists (the basis for most contemporary storytelling theory), all leading to my own approaches to storytelling. In 2005, my mum sits me down in front of the TV. "I've been waiting years for this," she says. I'm invited into the world of Doctor Who, a world set in our own but filled with mystery, danger, and wonder. It the intense imagination I had as a kid, as I continued to look for such wonder in the real world. I always wanted to recreate those experiences in my own writing, but every time I started to write, I got stuck. "It's cool, but what's the point?" I now know that a storyteller who can leave audiences still looking for such wonder, danger, and spectacles in the real world as they walk away has succeeded as a storyteller and an artist.
