As I have already mentioned, the story of THE MOTHER SIEGE came in a dream. When I first had the dream, I was surprised that I remembered it in the morning because I usually cannot remember my dreams. But I had no intention of writing a dystopian story. Then I had the dream a second time -- it would not leave me alone. I gave up and started writing the story, and the more I wrote the more interested I became in it.

I have just finished the movie screenplay of my dystopian story THE MOTHER SIEGE (on Wattpad at http://budurl.com//MSintro) and I am starting a TV drama pilot script for a prequel that takes place 20 years earlier in 2029.

I find that taking a shower or a bath helps my mind empty enough that new plot ideas come to me.
