So, I’ve only gone and got an MA in Writing Genre Fiction, and
with a distinction. And like a feather in a puddle of mud, it’s still sinking
in.
I grew up believing that poems always
had to rhyme, horror fiction was the poor relative of the literary world and
that writing stories was just a hobby, not a way of life.
But Edinburgh Napier university pushed all
that to one side with a mahoosive shovel. It wasn’t easy at times (not helped by
breaking my elbow four weeks into the MA), but they’ve nurtured self-belief,
and given me the skills to take my writing to another level.
I can't wait for the next chapter.
So, if you’re thinking of eustressing
your creative writing … opportunities are waiting just for you.
