• Q. Finally, what are your goals and aspirations as a writer? Where do you see yourself and your writing career in the future?

  Ans. My goal in being a writer is to get a new career by going into Hollywood with any given of my series. I feel I need to do this as a way to get out of the toxic job that I have had for ten long years. I see myself working in the Hollywood industry as a screenwriter either doing a movie or a showrunner of any give of the series I am writing now. I know what I write now won't be the absolute final project on the main screen people will watch with watch with whatever device they want to watch it on.
