Write Now With Sachi Ediriweera

<p>I&rsquo;m Sachi, an award-winning Sri Lankan designer and former filmmaker with an interest in writing and drawing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Enlightened/Sachi-Ediriweera/9781665903103" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">graphic novels</a>, currently based in Dubai, UAE. As my role as a designer, I&rsquo;ve worked with brands as Coca-Cola, Twitter, Vodafone, and many more and as a filmmaker, my short films have been screened in numerous film festivals around the world including in Germany, South Korea, the USA, and Australia.</p> <h2>What do you write?</h2> <p>As my work is primarily in a visual medium, I tend to start with some character sketches of my main characters. These are usually very rough layouts which help me picture these characters in my mind before I start developing things on the page. I tend to start with a story beat sheet first, in which I&rsquo;ll try to map out a character journey. Once I&rsquo;m happy with that I move on to add interesting scenes and supporting characters which could elevate the story. As for things that I avoid in my writing, I tend to avoid flashbacks, as I prefer a linear story structure in my work.</p> <p><a href="https://writingcooperative.com/write-now-with-sachi-ediriweera-62a216e16f0b"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
