I first put pen to paper(figuratively) in 2013, but my interest in storytelling was born around 2009. I had just given up my day job to start my own business, supplying 3D viewing equipment for commercial and private use.
This was at a point in time when the 3D experience was just becoming more accessible over a wide range of media. From cinema houses to kid’s comic book pages, almost any experience could be enhanced with 3D.
But I grew restless with just enhancing other’s creative endeavours. I wanted to throw my own ideas into the ring. And so, in 2013, I began. It was nothing major, just 20 odd pages of a short story with cute illustrations.
Now, eight years later, amid a worldwide pandemic, my little labour of love has grown from a few pages with doodles to a full-fledged novel.
