I started a Masters degree in scriptwriting this week and my journey here has been a bit strange, but that’s in the past and this is a fresh start with an old passion.
I’ve always loved to write, I remember a story I typed up on my mother’s typewriter when I was a child, it was about mermaids and I had illustrated each page with drawings of beautiful imaginary creatures. I was always imaginative, sometimes too much. I was one of those kids at school who gets told they daydream too much and would be exceptional if they could only apply themselves. The stories we tell ourselves always have to compete with the stories others tell us you see and when they don’t have any correlation to each other it can lead to madness. Our sense of self and what we do with that are both very important processes that need structuring in the form of imagination.
So here I am, trying to form a structure in my life, to work out the tale of me and hopefully to entertain and tell stories along the way. And getting my Masters would be pretty cool too.
The last time I wrote a blog it was for my Photography project at university so please bear with me, I will try and make it pretty and accessible over time. It’s going to be interesting studying online because I’m very much an ‘in person’ person, but I believe you can do anything if you set your mind to it and try hard enough. I will never let a little issue like Dyslexia or Anxiety stop me, if we let things hold us back how can we move forward? I’m hoping to use my experiences and obstacles as building blocks for narrative intrigue and dissonance.
