I have been a writing for quite some time now. since my high school days as campus journalist. Then after college I dabbled with radio, television and newspaper writing. My task with a permanent item is to manage information and write reports for a local college. I am still writing, listening to Vincent from Island Innovation allowed me to evaluate my writing in a more general manner. I have been asked on multiple occasions, what is my specialization. It takes a lot to explain interdisciplinary then and transdisciplinary studies now. but the bottom line is that all is communication though in different forms, shapes and sizes. There are tried and tested steps to follow. Even if you have doing this all your life, there is always something new and fresh which is an impetus for the next piece of writing.
