I am a big fan of Doctor Who and Sherlock. British TV definitely is my type because I like the intelligent humor and complex themes. I love how Steven Moffat manages to tie so many things together and to use his resources wisely. I mean he uses Doctor Who's timey-wimey mess to create an excellent backwards-forwards story line that is readable and complex. And with Sherlock, the conflict throughout each episode to season builds to create a bigger whole. I just love it.

I do enjoy writing stories and short scripts. My best stories come from my mind while I'm sleeping. I call this "my brain is smarter than I am". My dreams are usually complex and multilayered which helps me build complex story-lines. I do also dabble in comedic spoofs from time to time- then I take from a common story and tweak it. Unfortunately, I don't have the best sense in what people think is funny and so it doesn't typically go so well. This is probably because I have the intellectual humor that isn't as popular in the US, but the British mix it well with the other sense of humor so all parties are entertained. Luckily, co-conspirators and observing the great shows will help me overcome those obstacles.
I don't expect to become a famous writer for TV shows or movies, but I wouldn't reject the opportunity. I am working on a project with a co-conspirator at the moment on a writing project I hope to share when it is done. Practice is what helps, so I'm going to start writing. I also need to find more influences, which is hard when I want morally good input so what I create can also be good.
