edit data

Chazzy Patel was born in Crawley, England and mastered not listening to his parents. True to his nature, he became an American circus runaway in the 90's at the age of 15 for four years working with elephants (mostly influenced by Catcher in the Rye).

In 2004, he finished serving in the U.S Army in the medical field, only to become a professional photographer with a flair for disobedience and talent in fashion. He was also the first person to travel all seven continents by flipping a coin at most transportation hubs for directions to random destinations. Chazzy has also attempted to start the largest backpacker motorcycle gang on the planet named after George Michael’s 80s hit Careless Whisper by riding a bike around the world in a year and ...more

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Gatsby & Daisy from a favorite F. Scott Fitzgerald. This quote has taken me back certain moments in my life "I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.- F. Scott Fitzgerald". He had a great way of placing alot of his real life experiences in his writings. I admire how alive these two became to me.

Second is Rick and Ilsa from Casablanca. I won't list my favorite quotes. There are many! My reason for these two was the darker side of love and time. Plus, it's freaking Humphrey Bogart! (less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

I experience it in the beginning in my process to get it out but the method I have been using is pretty easy and I encourage writers to give it a whirl.

1 Make little notes on creative ideas to tell a story, personal interests in the present time that excite me, Little traits/behaviors you like and/or dislike in myself and people around me. Get creative with them first. People in our lives are great inspiration for fictional characters.

2. Remix those together in your head till it drives you nuts and set a writing date and time that will sit and look at a blank screen for 2-3 hours every day. Whatever time you believe you can free yourself from everything. Just you in your head and a blank screen. No internet either. Take away everything distractive.

3. Sit there every day at the same time in your head, looking at that blank screen. It takes an average of 1 to 2 weeks before it all vomits into a first draft for myself. This is the only time I get writer's block but it's important I go thru it.

Time is a very valuable and respecting it is key for me with writing and wasting it pisses me off creatively somewhere in my head to do something about it.

Katarzyna’s Proposal

Katarzyna’s Proposal It was a mid-March morning, yet a winter chill lingered palpably, and the trees lining the streets were smothered with a thick frost. He walked through the muddied salt path, eyes fixed on his new shoes, and hands pushed into his wool coat pockets. By the Capitol building steps, the Denver skyline was hardly recognisable in the fog, with just a couple of polished tips figurin Read more of this blog post »
