Jill Thrussell

Writer Bio: When it comes to my work as a writer, screenwriter, storyteller, author, poet and songwriter, often manifestations of my written work result in combined forms of output in a multimedia approach e.g. film, book, poetry collection, song collection, and game framework which I often write and create together which often dive into magic realism, fantasy and the challenges of life which include relationship dynamics, taking the audience through the written word on a lyrical journey and mapping exploration of unexplored life terrain as well as the fractures and fault lines in our hearts, relationships, communities and world. A special area of focus for me is the Forever After Lands which is a multi-verse children's project that I created and have written projects for which I describe as a one stop shop for two- to sixteen-year-old's which focuses on fiction, fictional edutainment and life development skills. Some parts of my work explore, probe, inspect, cross examine and dissect internal reflections, varying perspectives, concepts of intrigue, the realities and intricacies of our human condition, complexities of our state of existence and observe the world around us from various angles to give a voice to some of those who are voiceless, and ultimately, explore the world through a lens of compassion. Parts of my work incorporate, create and explore emotions, nature, science, technology, folklore and mythological roots which embody culture either from a historical or fictional perspective and some projects explore the erosion of society, nature and our human state and the cracks within our hearts, world, societies and communities that divide and destroy us as we live in various emotional states then move through a spectrum of emotions as we interact with external occurrences and the entities that impact upon us. Other parts of my written work map out unexplored terrain in thought, cross the borders of fiction, semi-fiction and nonfiction to explore topics such as problem-solving, emotional management, decision making and life improvement and weave creative threads together in a useful way to encourage and uplift hearts, minds and spirits.
