An afternoon with Brian McGilloway

Very pleased that I was able to get a slot at the Creative Writing Clinic with local established writer Brian McGilloway today.  It was a very productive afternoon with an encouraging, supportive author.  He gave me useful feedback on my work, with suggestions for where I might make some improvements. 

Feeling inspired to get stuck into this piece and move the character and the story forward :-)

Bliss!

Bliss! Curling up on the sofa on a cold night with the new edition of Writing magazine. What a lovely way to unwind!

Back at Coney Island

Lovely to be back down at Coney Island yesterday morning in the bright spring sunshine. With the sun warming our backs we exercised our writing brains once more, taking well-earned breaks for coffee and chocanana muffins to keep the inspiration flowing :-)

Back again

Great to be back blogging after a break and also to be back down at Coney Island again yesterday. Magical, windswept, Coney Island where the spectacular waves took our breath away as high tide approached. Wonderful, mesmerizing Coney Island where an otter paid us a visit as he ran, disoriented and homeless as the waves crashed over the sea wall. Inspiring, creative Coney Island where its always good to write. :-)
