 OWC 310 A — One-on-One Tutorial: Novel Creative hobbies may greatly benefit mental health Painting, woodworking, writing: Whatever you turn to creatively, it could equal or exceed work in terms of maintaining mental health, new research shows. "Crafting and other artistic activities showed a meaningful effect in predicting people's sense that their life is worthwhile," said study lead author Dr. Helen Keyes , of Anglia Ruskin University in Britain. Advertisement "Indeed, the impact of crafting was bigger than the impact of being in employment," she added. "Not only does crafting give us a sense of achievement, it is also a meaningful route to self-expression. This is not always the case with employment." - Work stress may increase risk of heart rhythm disorder
- Study: Your body experiences 'massive' biomolecular changes in your 40s and 60s
- United States remains last for life expectancy among English-speaking countries
Folks were asked about their level of participation in cultural, digital and sporting activities. People were also queried about their levels of loneliness and "sensations of happiness, anxiety and life satisfaction, and to give their impression of whether life is worthwhile," according to a journal news release. More than a third (37.4%) of respondents said they'd been involved in some kind of arts or crafts activity over the past month. Advertisement People who engaged in a creative pursuit scored higher in terms of happiness, life satisfaction and the sense that life is worthwhile, compared to folks who weren't involved in arts or crafts, the researchers found. "The well-being effects were present even after we accounted for things like employment status and level of deprivation," Keyes said in a journal news release. "It seems that crafting can contribute positively to your well-being above and beyond these other aspects of your life." Perhaps because many arts and crafts are done while alone, engagement didn't seem to affect people's levels of loneliness. The study was only designed to show associations, so it could not prove cause and effect. In her own life, Keyes said she's an avid devotee of DIY projects such as painting and decorating. "There is certainly something immensely satisfying about seeing the results of your work appear before your eyes," she said. "It feels great to focus on one task and engage your mind creatively." Policymakers might want to take guidance from the new findings, Keyes said. "Governments and national health services might consider funding and promoting crafting, or even socially prescribing these activities for at-risk populations, as part of a promotion and prevention approach to well-being and mental health," she said.

| | | Graduate Coordinator: Dr. Melissa Crowe  The Department of Creative Writing offers an intensive studio-academic apprenticeship in the writing of fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction leading to the Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing. Courses include workshops in the three genres, special topics and forms courses, as well as a range of courses in literature. While students are accepted in, and expected to demonstrate mastery of one genre, they are encouraged to study, and must show proficiency in, a second genre. Students, in consultation with their advisors, tailor their course schedules to their own professional and educational interests, selecting a variety of courses in creative writing, literature, criticism, rhetoric and composition, film studies, and applicable cultural studies. Though the M.F.A. is a terminal degree designed for writers wishing to pursue various career paths in teaching, writing, publishing, and community arts organization, students are urged to pursue the degree primarily as a way of mastering their art by rigorous study and practice among a community of other dedicated writers. The M.F.A. degree without supporting publication credentials does not guarantee employment. Admission RequirementsApplicants seeking admission to the Master of Fine Arts Program in Creative Writing are required to submit the following four items to the Graduate School before the application can be processed. - A typed manuscript in the applicant’s primary genre, labeled “poetry,” “fiction,” or “creative nonfiction”: 10 pages of poetry, 30 pages of fiction, or 30 pages of creative nonfiction (double-space prose, single-space poetry). The manuscript should demonstrate mastery of basic craft and unmistakable literary promise. Applicants are advised not to apply with a mixed-genre manuscript.
- An application for graduate admission.
- Official transcripts of all college work (undergraduate and graduate).
- An essay (300-500 words) on the applicant’s goals in pursuing the M.F.A., including previous educational experience.
An applicant must have successfully completed an appropriate undergraduate degree (usually, but not necessarily, a B.A. in English or a B.F.A in creative writing), with at least a “B” average in the major field of study. Acceptable fulfillment of all the above constitutes the minimum requirements for, but does not guarantee, admission to the M.F.A. program. In general, we are seeking candidates who show artistic commitment and literary promise in their writing, and whose academic background indicates they are likely to succeed not only in graduate study but as publishing professional writers. Therefore, in evaluating candidates, the admissions committee places great emphasis on the quality of the manuscript. Applications must be received by the published deadline . All interested applicants will be considered for graduate assistantships, which will be awarded on a competitive basis as they become available. Degree Requirements (48 total credit hours)- An M.F.A. candidate must successfully complete a minimum of 48 credit hours of graduate study: 21 credit hours in writing ( CRW 530 , CRW 541 , CRW 542 , CRW 544 , CRW 546 , CRW 548 , CRW 550 ); six credit hours of thesis ( CRW 599 ); and 21 credit hours in other graduate literature and publishing courses, ( CRW 501 , CRW 503 , CRW 510 , CRW 520 , CRW 522 , CRW 523 , CRW 524 , CRW 525 , CRW 526 , CRW 540 , CRW 543 , CRW 545 , CRW 547 , CRW 560 , CRW 580 , CRW 581 , CRW 591 , CRW 594 , CRW 598 ; ENG 502 , ENG 504 , ENG 505 , ENG 506 , ENG 507 , ENG 508 , ENG 509 , ENG 511 , ENG 513 , ENG 514 , ENG 560 , ENG 561 , ENG 564 , ENG 565 , ENG 566 , ENG 572 , ENG 580 ) with an option of substituting up to six of those credit hours of study in a related discipline, as determined by the student’s advisor, the M.F.A. coordinator, and the chair of the Department of Creative Writing.
- An M.F.A. candidate is required to complete at least 12 credit hours of writing workshop courses in a primary genre (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction).
- An M.F.A. candidate is required to complete a minimum of six credit hours in a secondary genre, which must include at least one 3-hour writing workshop ( CRW 510 , CRW 530 , CRW 542 , CRW 544 , CRW 546 , CRW 548 , CRW 550 ). Forms courses ( CRW 543 , CRW 545 , CRW 547 ) may be used to fulfill the remaining hours.
- A maximum of 9 credit hours in secondary genre(s) workshop courses will count toward fulfilling the 21 hour writing requirement.
- An M.F.A. candidate is required to complete CRW 520: The Publishing Process, and this course will count toward fulfilling the 21 hour requirement in other graduate literature or publishing courses.
- A minimum GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) must be maintained in all graduate course work; a “B” average is required for graduation.
- An M.F.A. candidate must complete a substantial book-length thesis manuscript of literary merit and publishable quality acceptable to the thesis committee: this ordinarily will be a novel; a novella; a collection of short stories, poems, or essays; a single long poem; a long nonfiction narrative; or some combination of the foregoing within the primary genre.
- An M.F.A. candidate must pass the Master of Fine Arts examination.
- A maximum of six credit hours of graduate course credit may be transferred from another regionally accredited institution in partial fulfillment of the M.F.A. UNCW regulations will be applied in determining the transferability of course credits, and requests for transfer credit must be approved by the M.F.A. coordinator, the chair of the Department of Creative Writing, and the Graduate School.
- The M.F.A. program is designed to be completed in three calendar years. All requirements must be completed within five calendar years.

- ‘Boyzone’ Doc In The Works At Sky Featuring First Interviews With Ronan Keating & Company For 30 Years
 The creators of HBO / BBC smash Industry have talked up how Season 3 “broadens the canvas” to show how “finance sits within a larger ecosystem of politics, the media and how it all actually works.” Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Mickey Down and Konrad Kay opened up about some of the mistakes they feel they made on the first two seasons of the hit banking drama, with Konrad Kay saying “we were naive and arrogant” when forging the first, which he described as a “toxic combination” of traits. Related Stories 'Boyzone' Doc In The Works At Sky Featuring First Interviews With Ronan Keating & Company For 30 YearsMeta Comedy 'Make That Movie' Kicks Off Channel 4 Edinburgh Commissions; Channel 5 Premium Factual Slate; Bad Wolf Writer Program - Edinburgh TV Festival Briefs“It was very narrow and subjective at the start – we never broke away from the characters’ experience,” said Down. “Season 2 broke a bit more, we realized we could do storylines that had larger stakes than salad orders and going to the gym. And Season 3 we wanted to broaden the canvas and throw everything at the wall, but also show how finance sits within a larger ecosystem of politics, the media and how it all actually works.” Vince Gilligan praise The creators heaped praise on Breaking Bad auteur Vince Gilligan, who they said had inspired them to broaden the show’s scope and shoot for the stars with plot points. “Vince says that if you use your best ideas and give the audience a satisfying conclusion you might give yourself the challenge of saying, ‘This will be even more fun’,” added Kay, citing the decision to fire main character Harper, played by Myha’la, at the end of Season 2. “By the nature of renewal and jeopardy of getting another season you can’t take anything for granted,” added Kay. “The most satisfying way to tell a story is to make sure each season comes to a heavy period.” The third season of the Bad Wolf -produced drama introduces new character, Henry Muck, played by Kit Harington, the British CEO of an environmental, social and governance (ESG) outfit in the midst of going public. It focuses on the growing trend and discussion point of ‘woke investing’. “New writing doesn’t have to be marginalized” In Down and Kay, the show’s exec Jane Tranter said having two young showrunners “reminds broadcasters that new writing doesn’t have to be marginalized.” “When the industry is contracting and going through a crazy time, we remind broadcasters of this,” she added. “You can give people a chance and this is how to do it. Mickey and Konrad started as good writers and then became really good EPs. This is what we should do to keep the ecology of our industry fresh and percolated.” Thinking back to the start of Industry, Tranter said she had “taken for granted” being given a shot by the HBO and BBC on a drama that felt niche at the time. She implied it may not have been commissioned today. “A TV drama commission is the stuff of dreams but particularly now it is so much harder because so much less is being done on both sides of the Atlantic and it’s so much harder to get work by new voices done,” she added. She described former banking intern duo Down and Kay’s first draft as “like a flatline on a heart monitor,” but with “the most distinctive voice.” “I’d never had a piece of work come in from writers who’d never written for TV before that was as strong as that,” added the His Dark Materials and Doctor Who exec. “I said to HBO, ‘Give us three years and they will be the best showrunners you have,’ and it took eight years.” Down said his first draft was “almost documentarian, a reflection of our experiences of banking which was mainly monotony and the minutest drama.” “It was soulless and lifeless,” he said. “We didn’t have any of the humor.” The panel was speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival , which will see talks from Warren Littlefield, Anne Mensah and singer will.i.am tomorrow.
