Writing & Literature

I was talking to friends recently who are finishing elsewhere. One asked if I�d do this course again, and the answer is yes. In a heartbeat. I came to Sligo with the bare bones of a novel idea and leave with 20,000 words of it written, something I didn�t think I was capable of. The support of both the lecturers and my classmates has been invaluable. Learning to trust my messy first drafts to people intending to critique them was a slow but necessary lesson. I�m excited to see what I can do next.

A Space Between

I began this course as an accidental writer of poetry and a purposeful writer of short fiction. I finish having gained the knowledge to intentionally write decent poetry, and a love for dabbling in various creative endeavours. The course introduces so many forms of writing and there wasn�t one that I didn�t enjoy trying my hand at.
