Hi!

Making characters is probably my favourite aspect to do. Prior to writing I wanted to do fashion and my interest in fashion came from a love of story about how stories can be told through clothes and this still stays strong now.

Although I touch upon this in the DND secion as well, Games Design married to Narrative is a beautiful match. This is something I adore to explore in making mechanics for various things I enjoy. The key thing however is I find that actions in the game have to work narratively or the game loses a lot of legitimacy in my opinion. 

One of my main reasons from transitioning from fashion and picking video games is I adore that the player drives the narrative. Not only that, but the way that every player has an individual experience through choices within the story. 

Dialogue between characters that exclude the main character present a different challenge. Dialogue is easy to write but very difficult to write well. I enjoy finding ways to write naturalistic dialogue that allow an insight into the characters.

One of my saddest days as a kid was discovering that GCSE and A-level English had no creative writing module as it was my favourite. I have always written in a multitude of genres as its simply an enjoyment of mine. 

I have found Dungeons and Dragons (DND) to be a fantastic tool to explore level design, enemy balance, creative solutions and story telling devices while receiving feedback on what to improve. Also, it's a tonne of fun.
