Each time I apply for an arts council grant, award, or contest, I am never sure which direction it will go. I have completed applications for several grants (specifically for my writing) since 2013 (and if you include my film festival days, since 2001). Sometimes getting them done means a sleepless night, burning the midnight oil after a long day of teaching... At other times, it means driving through rush hour traffic to make the cut off time or spending an exorbitant amount on postage at the post office. I have applied for several and often receive the "no"s and sometimes there are so many applications sent out that I lose track of them and then finally... tonight, my prayers have been answered. Thank you Canada Council for the Arts | Conseil des Arts du Canada for believing in my dreams. Happy tears.
I have also received a few writers and theatre recommenders grants from the Ontario Arts Council. Collectively, these grants will help me to complete the research and writing of two book projects as well as a play adaptation. I will need all of the help I can get.

I continue to apply for grants, residencies, awards, contests, and scholarships. It is something that I have been doing since I was a child and the results have paid off "big time".
