Actress Isla Fisher is writing a thriller with her mother, which she says is turning out fun because her mother doesn't understand the rules of screenwriting.

Fisher has admitted if she hadn't become an actress, she would have become a full time writer, reported Contactmusic.

The 37-year-old star has teamed up with her mother, Elspeth Reid, who helped her publish two teen novels, 'Bewitched' and 'Seduced by Fame' when she was 18 years old, to create a film.

"My mum and I have actually been writing a script for a thriller together. It's really fun. She doesn't understand the rules of screenwriting, so I'm often like, 'What?! Mum, you can't kill off the protagonist on page 10!' She breaks all the rules, which makes it original at least. We've had a scream doing it," she said.
 

The actress may have made it in Hollywood, but admits it has been a hard journey, with her first agent in the US firing her.

"I really have had no help. In fact, the one time I did ask for help was after my agent in Los Angeles fired me.
