So what is my Web Series about?... It’s about a guy that shares his life within the four walls of his bedroom, told from a God’s view angle, letting the action play out in front of you.

So who's this series following?......humm….Now this is where I've had a change of heart.

So for the past 3 months I’ve been writing a series about 18-year-old student that’s just started university. It would show his friendships, relationships, his studies and anything else university could throw at him whist in his room.

But after writing 12 episodes based around the situations and events he could encounter whist at university, I felt it was missing something that gave it life…. 'Character'.

Although I had some great ideas and situations to put him in, he just wasn’t coming to life for me, and without a detailed character the series was just a shell of actions that no one would warm to and believe in.

It wasn’t till last night after sitting around with my friend, thinking why I couldn’t I nail this guys character…. Then it hit me. . I’m not that guy anymore…

I was trying to write for a guy that was 10 years younger then myself, something that I lost clear sight of years ago. I released that I didn’t know anything about being 18 any more. I mean I know how it felt and how I acted, but I couldn’t put myself back in that frame of mind to write a strong enough character that would bring this series to life.

Back at university, my friends and I would sit around thinking of ideas, and whenever we would get stuck, or struggle to come up with an original concept, we would always say to each other “ SHOOT WHAT YOU KNOW”

And this was exactly what I hadn’t been doing when writing this series, and was something I feel I can only do.  (Write for what I know)

So it got me thinking about what do I know? Who I am today? And what have I been doing with my life over the past year or so that is interesting enough to write about and adapt to this idea.

Spending a bit of time reflecting on my current self, I realised there's ideas and concepts within my life right now that are worth writing about. It’s just sometimes hard to see them when you’re in the middle of it all.

So what is my series about?....its about a mid 20’s guy who shares his life within the four walls of his bedroom, told from a gods view angle looking down into his room.

So who's this series following?....We watch down on him as he deals with the struggles of friendship, relationships, as he fights his way through the media industry only to pay rent on a small over priced room in central London that he hates. Asking the question,’ why I’m I doing this?’

Having recently gone through this experience and one that I’ll have to face again in the near future, I feel I’m quite in touch with what this character is going through and how he would act and feel in this chapter of his life. 

I’m excited to see where this may take me. So I’ll keep you guys up to date as the stories and character progress.
