WHERE HAVE I BEEN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS?

Sep 16, 2024

Where have I been for the past two years? Well sit down, crack open a can, grab
some munchies and have a read. Oops, that’s the door intercom buzzing. I’ll be
back shortly

DIRECTORY OF CURRENT IRISH LITERARY JOURNALS

Sep 23, 2021

Originally posted on Poem as Totem:
I first compiled this directory of Irish journals in 2016. Since then some
journals have become defunct, and others have sprung up, particularly during the
lockdown, so I thought it was time to update it. For writers just beginning to
submit work, I recommend trying the newer journals first. Those…

LONELINESS

Nov 5, 2019

Originally posted on In the Village:
Are our approaches to tackling this issue fundamentally flawed? Loneliness is a
hot topic. There’s no questioning the significant negative social, health and
economic hurt caused by ‘the loneliness epidemic,’ and many community leaders
and third-sector organisations are calling for greater acknowledgement of this
social issue, and investment in…

Jul 7, 2019

I found these questions on Pinterest (the magical place — and frequently rabbit
hole — where you can literally find anything). I want to write something more

USE THE KONMARI METHOD TO TIDY YOUR MIND

Feb 27, 2019

Your home is living space, not storage space. Francine Jay As someone whose OCD
manifests as hoarding (as the few people I’ve ever let in my flat can testify),
this article by Brad Stulberg for Outdoors magazine so resonates with me!
“There’s growing evidence that a cluttered home or workplace is a stressful one.

TIME IS A GREAT HEALER…?

Feb 21, 2019

A great article on grief. I wish this site had been up in 2008. No, time
definitely isn’t a “great healer”! Last week was the 11th anniversary of my
mother’s death and the pain is still as raw. I had the 11th anniversary of my
mam’s death in February. I’m still grieving 11 years on. … More Time is a

NEW INQUEST INTO ELLA KISSI-DEBRAH’S DEATH

Jan 13, 2019

This is utterly groundbreaking. The Ella Roberta Family have won the right to
another inquest into the death of their daughter Ella. The Attorney General said
“I have concluded that there is new evidence which may alter the substantial
truth of Ella’s death”. He went on “I am therefore able to give my permission

WE DRANK A TOAST TO INNOCENCE —WE DRANK A TOAST TO TIME — RELIVING, IN OUR
ELOQUENCE — ANOTHER “AULD LANG SYNE”

Jan 1, 2019

I had planned on my first post of 2019 being a somewhat optimistic one — looking
forward to what this new yeat will bring. However, when the time came I couldn’t
face pretending to be cheery. So, I’ve spent the the first day of 2019 just as I
spent the last day of 2018 — … More We drank a toast to innocence —We drank a

HARK, IT’S MIDNIGHT, CHILDREN DEAR. DUCK! HERE COMES ANOTHER YEAR!

Dec 31, 2018

If you start listening to “Ride” by Lane Del Rey at exactly 12:58:31 on New
Year’s Eve, you can sing along to “I am alone at midnight” at exactly midnight.
Start your New Year honestly.
