Rahfene Ekuma Screenwriting

As a writer, I have learnt how to pay attention to anything that interests me and things that doesn’t interests me. It is so amazing that a spark can come from anywhere, like seeing the joy of a <details> <summary>Read more/less</summary> couple when their child is born or just sleeping, a spark can come out of it and it becomes an idea, the idea becomes outline process, the outline process becomes a story, the story becomes a script, or a book or even an article. Whatever it is, you will always remember where the spark came from and that is simply amazing how diverse our minds are. From the diversity of living things and non-living things; I learn to see the world as many things and I learn to see myself as a tigress, a teacher, a baby, an introvert, an extrovert, a student and many more. And while connecting the dots of a story, I play physiology to get the best character I can create at that point in time. As I learn every day, I also have it in mind that there is nothing new under the sun but the Holy Spirit will make me do all things through Christ who strengthens me. </details>
