If you’re someone whose unpublished novel is gathering dust, someone who wonders what sort of people write books, someone who needs inspiration or someone who wonders about self publishing versus traditional publishing, then you should go look up a festival near you. I did that and the Wexford Literary Festival sounded perfect. I was so … More What happens at a literary festival?
‘How’s your blog doing?’ This is the question I am asked most frequently by those who know I write, which isn’t too many in my everyday life. I think the vast majority hear the word ‘blog’ and think it is something I do which must make money. Commonly I’m met with confused faces when I … More How’s your blog doing?
I have a secret album. It has cost me nothing as it requires no printing, in fact it doesn’t even require a camera. I keep this album locked away in the recess of my mind. In a world of multi media sharing of every moment of our lives, from dawn until dusk, these photos are … More I have a secret photo album
I am in a state and finding it so very difficult to settle down to blog, write or do anything. In a few days I’m off to visit my son. We have not seen each other since January 1st, the day he left for work experience abroad, four months ago. It’s hard to imagine that … More Three more sleeps.
Do you remember my old pal, the wonderful 83 year old kerryman who very reluctantly emigrated two years ago to England? It struck me today that I’ve never updated you all on how he’s doing. Well the short answer is he is still alive and definitely kicking. He and I have kept contact by phone, … More Remember my old friend?
What do you want from your blog? Do you want it to provide an income or is it a hobby? Do you plan your posts or open your dashboard and write whatever comes to mind. Do you dream of going viral? I am wondering this as I sit here tonight. If I were to answer … More Would you like to go viral?
Is there a poem which describes who you are, or how you think? Today is Poem in your pocket day. I first read of this on the blog of Annette Rochelle Aben. She tells us that as part of national poetry month today would be earmarked as a day in which we share a poem, … More What poem describes you?
Can you ever recover from abuse? Can you live a ‘normal’ life? In a world where survivors are not comfortable speaking out, how can you recover? Are you ‘damaged goods?’ Statistics tell us that one in four will be abused. Most who have not been abused imagine how awful the experience must be, but rarely … More What is life like after abuse?
One of my favourite posts I’ve ever written features a small blonde boy. This young boy had autism and despite only meeting him briefly, he gave me one of the most wonderful moments in my life. April is Autism awareness month. To mark it I’d like to remind you of that moment and a very … More Remembering one moment in time.
I saw this in my drafts folder today. I wrote it one night over Easter, obviously after I’d celebrated the occasion, and seen one list post too many on Facebook .Warning, you may get my lack of love for lists from it. Hey you over there, writing those lists.. Don’t tell me how to deal … More Hey you, writing those list posts…(a slightly drunken post)
