Who Am I? Overture of a Blog

 My name is Fionn Baker. I am a minuscule insignificance in this massive universe that we all reside in. In other words I am a writer. 

Inspiration comes from a variety of sources for me. This can be film, music, screenplays, real life experiences, literature and comedy. I would say that the lives and relationships of people around me are my biggest influence but I also really enjoy the writing in Curb Your Enthusiasm, the films Heathers, Moulin Rouge and Edward Scissorhands, The Handmaid's Tale and Roald Dahl's childrens novels. I am drawn easily to quirky characters and situations in stories because I relate to and enjoy viewing the world through that eccentric, outside of the box lens.

My main interest is in screenwriting because I adore the more human element film has as a medium compared to literature. Whenever I write I always imagine the lives of real people and true raw emotion, no matter how fantastical or wonderfully weird the story is.

I hope over the coming months, you will enjoy my writing and posts to come. I aim to improve and learn over time so I can achieve the goal of starting a career in screenwriting.

Fionn.
