My name is Forrest Dunbar
and I am currently studying English Literature on the Bedford Campus. Reading
and writing has always been a main passion of mine, I could not visualise what
a world would be like without fiction… Well I could, it would be
unimaginatively boring and dull like the TV show Keeping Up With The
Kardashians.
In September, 2013, my
siblings went back to school and suddenly (for a change), I had the house to
myself. This was a blessing as it finally gave me a chance to write something.
Firstly, I write in an unconventional way. I write about whatever enters my
mind at that current time, if what I am writing seems interesting I pursue it
but if I get bored quickly and I have no motivation to continue, I scrap the
story and start again. When I started The Couples everything seemed to fall
into place; the characters developed their own personalities, making the
writing aspect for me enjoyable. When I got so far into the book that is when I
stop and plan what lies ahead for the characters.
Nothing greatly inspired me
for the characters; they just formed in my head. I have always been fascinated
by relationships and extreme stereotypes; I particularly had great fun
caricaturing the ridiculousness of extreme stereotypes, it makes good comedy.
I have future novels in mind that have inspired me from
certain situations and events but there will be more to say once they
materialise.
