The process of creating War for Humanity has been a journey that started in my childhood. As a boy, I had a healthy obsession with reading and cinema, along with an overly active imagination and joy for playing action-adventure games around the family garden. During these times, I drew strands of ideas from various influences and started to create the story and world for my trilogy. Because this was such an ambitious project, I wanted to gain more life experience, read more, develop my skills, and expand my vocabulary before writing. So I set it aside for many years, but occasionally dabbling back in to make additions, whilst focusing on my education and a music career. 

Have you ever felt too accustomed to something because you’ve thought about it too much? Like being alone at home with no one around, deep in thought, suddenly aware that the causes of your stress, hurt, and sadness clouding your mind as a headache have all vanished. Maybe you haven’t yet solved this problem, you just accepted it, dealt with it, because you got used to it. The problem may only affect a few people like at work, something personal with your partner, or maybe they’re bigger than society itself. You know you can’t do it alone.

I can’t really remember when I started writing. Or when I began reading. I do remember for a really long time, I hated them both. I would like to say that writing, or even reading, came naturally to me. I would like to say that I came out of the womb eloquently spoken. Well, my mother would claim that. But I didn’t. In fact, reading and writing were both a challenge for me. I love them now! I marvel at all the possibilities that could come of them both. But when I began, I was truly no good at either.
