A few weeks ago I entered a writing competition for the Liberties Festival in Dublin. We were asked to write 50 to 300 words on ‘the theme ‘Liberties’ – either the concept of liberties or The Liberties area of Dublin, Ireland’. I decided that was well within my writing range so I gave it a go. … More Good writing news.
I was toying between that title or perhaps, ‘How not to increase traffic to your blog’. I’ve been blogging over two years and for the most part have enjoyed every day of it. However in the last month, due to life, holidays, my children annoying me and my husband expecting me to feed him, I’ve … More How many read your blog today?
Would you like to read one of my most popular blog posts here on wordpress? It received seventy five likes in a few hours, at a time when I had only a handful of followers and even less readers. I wrote it in a moment but it seemed to resonate with many. I was new … More What it feels like every time I post.
Ever look at you blog and wonder why you bother? No me neither. It’s two and a half years since I began to blog. I have loved writing every post and this blog is now my diary. My thoughts are here, often in their rawest form. There are days when I am working, or even … More What’s next?
How many drafts have you sitting unfinished? The other night as I was posting I realised I am only seven posts away from my 700th published post.

How I have missed writing, reading and interacting with a world most who know me are unaware of. In two years I’ve only missed … More Finding time.
Do you ever wonder at the person you have become? How different are you from the child you used to be? In many ways I am still the same girl I used to be, but in other ways I am all grown up. The temper I had so little control of is still there, but … More Look at me now!
I wrote a story last February, which was published in ‘The little book of Love’ anthology. It is, to date, the story I have enjoyed writing most, and the one whose characters I continue to think of. I’ve decided to share it here with you tonight. I hope you enjoy it. Goodnight Jimmy Sitting beside … More I wrote a story…
This is a post perfect for today. Why? Because I went away with a group of girlfriends for one night, and we may have had a fantastic night, perhaps a little too fantastic, and I just may be feeling a little tired. I may be feeling uninspired, and I may be wondering what time would … More A to Z of me.
Sometimes the world can seem a dark place. We look around and miss all that is good and fun, we hear the harsh words and cruel jibes, but fail to notice the smiles and gentle touches of others.
