ginger cake reflections

Over the weekend I met up with SCBWI pals for coffee, cake and chat in Belfast, sharing our writing (and other) struggles and successes. It was lovely to see everyone an hear their news. And I always come away from these meet-ups having learnt something new. Apart from learning the ginger cake in Waterstones café is delicious, I picked up a few tips for writing a good synopsis. Now I need to apply the learning....

This gorgeous anthology arrived in the post the other day. It includes one of my stories 'A breath of fresh air' - which was runner up in the Lagan Navigation Trust's Storymaking 2018 festival.

 

 

I've taken a welcome break from editing my current project to dip into it and read the beautiful range of poems and stories submitted as part of the Lagan Waterways Storymaking festival. You can get copies from the Lagan Navigation Trust (priced £5) http://www.lagannavigationtrust.org/

Now where was that ginger cake...
