About Me

To Make a Long Story Short

I'm a Canadian screenwriter who’s been moonlighting as a ghostwriter for the past few years. At this point, I’ve written a bit of everything, from public speeches to promotional copy, which has made me well-versed in content writing, copywriting, and copy-editing. In terms of my education, I have a B.A. in History with a Minor in Film Studies. However, I’ve also completed a number of e-courses, attended seminars, and I’ve rigorously studied a variety of topics, mostly to satisfy my own curiosity. In terms of my character, I would say that I’m upbeat, hard-working, and mostly unassuming. I’m also a big proponent of self-betterment strategies, so I’m always trying to improve (it's an endless process).

In terms of goals, my loftiest aspiration is to write what I'd consider a perfect story, which is something I’m willfully working towards. However, philosophically, I don’t think any degree of success amounts to much if you don't have people to share it with, which is why finding the one remains my highest ambition.

Statement of Purpose

Why I created the website

Originally, this website was created simply to validate my ghostwriting services. However, then I expanded it into a personal website, which was designed to replicate the experience of meeting me at one of those hectic networking mixers (I’ve never actually gone to one, which is probably why this feels nothing like that experience).

What I hope to accomplish

My hope is that this website will serve as a visible platform, making it easier for people to find me, be it a potential employer, a prospective client, or a like-minded individual. Worst case scenario, it’ll just be a plot of digital land that I'll need to maintain every now and then.

Why it's important

In many ways, who I am is inextricable from what I do, so I do think it’s important to present myself accurately. The last thing I want to do is mislead anyone, so this website will provide a good opportunity for people to gain some insight into myself, my process, and my work.

The Long Story

Where should I start? Well I guess I should start at the beginning, with how I was conceived. You probably think I’m joking but it’s worth mentioning, because I was actually a Valentines day gift. Now, the implications of this are up for debate, but I’ve always liked the idea that I was created with romantic intent. It could also explain why I've always had such a romanticized outlook (that is, if you take the leap and assume mystical elements were at play). Either way, you can’t really get to know me without first having a sense of my childhood, which is where our story really begins.

Now, I should preface this section by saying that I don’t actually remember anything from my youth, so pretty much everything that I’ve gathered is from scraps of old journal entries, most of which came together to form a pretty clear picture of who I was at age 9, which goes a long way in explaining why I am the way that I am.

For example, like most nine-year old girls, I spent most of my time imagining what my wedding will be like (it was going to be winter-themed during fall), and while reflecting on what I wanted most out of life, I do think it’s notable that I wrote an impassioned plea about how finding the right person and getting married trumps virtually everything (and at least from that perspective, my opinion hasn't really changed). At that point, I also knew that I wanted to be a writer. I think I was around 6 when I fell in love with fairy tales, and that sparked an immediate passion for storytelling, which only increased with time.. ‘Placing me in a very critical juncture as university approached.

Although I was tempted to choose a major with a tangible career path, I ultimately decided to study History with a minor in Film Studies, hoping that would give me the best chance at writing a great story (I was also heeding the advice of a few screenwriters, who argued that the craft can mostly be learned for free). In the end, it did feel like the right decision as history provided me with a number of peripheral benefits, such as the ability to conduct research, the ability to sift through information, not to mention the fact that it’s littered with countless stories, allusions, and other usable material. On top of all that, I also created my own screenwriting curriculum, which essentially served as my double major.

However, despite all of that work, there were still some very real concerns as to whether or not I’d be able to find a job, which culminated in a very dramatic conversation with a career counsellor who basically advised me to speak to a psychiatrist (after failing to alleviate my fears that I’d end up homeless). But thankfully, life after graduation wasn’t nearly as terrifying as I thought it would be.

After a brief stint as a stay-at-home son, I decided to create my website, which helped me land some freelance work, eventually leading me into ghostwriting. A year later, I thought it was time to try an office job, which is when I became a script writer for an adult entertainment website (my parents were so proud). After doing that for a while, I decided to look elsewhere (out of fear of that becoming my actual career), resulting in me becoming a producers’ assistant on a television show, which took me all over the world, and that basically brings me to where I am now.

Although most of my fears proved to be unwarranted, there was a downside to all that work. After allocating so much time to my job and my writing, I found myself leaving less and less for relationships, which conditioned me into valuing convenience more than anything. And although it was subtle, with each meaningless encounter, I started to feel the hope and optimism of that nine-year-old gradually slipping away, which is when I decided to make a change.

In terms of my beliefs, I do think there are a million variations as to how our lives could go. And for me, I think there are many variations where my dreams aren’t realized. I don’t think it’s an inevitability that I’ll meet my wife and start my family. And I don’t think I’m necessarily going to write something amazing just because I want to. When you really want something, you have to keep trying. You have to be proactive, intentional, and brave.

And I will be.
