This would have been unthinkable for me just a few years ago. And I have no intention of stopping. I am currently working on a novel which should go well in the portfolio with the screenplays, short stories, and flash fiction pieces. After nearly four years of practice I am ready to strike out into the literary arena. Who knows. it might actually work!
In IT Sligo’s Writing and Literature course I found my voice as a creator. Though writing is by nature a solitary activity, it was also where I found community. The sense of community that has proven invaluable during this experience in isolation. In the MA in Creative Practice I have expanded my horizons by working with other members of this artistic community in interdisciplinary projects. I have written performance pieces for other people. I have performed in other peoples plays. I have worked with other writers to edit scripts.
