Back at Coney Island

Great to be back down at Coney Island with fellow writers yesterday. Good to see Maddie, Rhonda, Fionnuala, Yvonne and Charlie and to be inspired once again to get back to our writing after the Christmas break. The writing exercises were just what we needed to kick start our brains.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. Hope 2013 is as happy, healthy and successful year and that the writing and publishing journey continues to be enjoyable and fun with writing colleagues. Haven't got the new writing year off to a good start as I can't find my special writing pen so am having to make do with a freebie biro from Marriott Hotels and Resorts. Loving my new tablet. Thanks Santa - it should make blogging even easier!

Christmas at Coney

Crackers, candy canes, cinnamon stars, cranberry and orange muffins...the blinding sun shining on a crisp, cold, December morning....

Lovely session down ay Coney Island yesterday with Maddie, Fionnula, Jo, Rhonda, Yvonne, Mairi, Mia, Jana (and their jokes!) and I. Good to review the positives from 2012 and think ahead about our writing goals for next year. Great fun with our word workout - I never thought it could lead to such treasures! A great session was followed by a lovely Christmas lunch.

Happy RLS Day

What the Dickens?

Looking forward to listening to Robert Powell later, speaking in May Street Church, Belfast about Dickens' villains. Coincidentally Dickens read from some of his works in the Victoria Music Hall (sadly now no more) on one of his visits to Belfast, just across the street from tonight's venue.

too true......

National Poetry Day

I feel inspired to write a few lines on National Poetry Day
