One of my summer 2025 highlights was the week-long women's ✍writing retreat at The Pyramid Life Center, NY. On our final day, one workshop participant slipped a thank-you note onto my desk. It really doesn't get better than this. ❤️ 🙏 #Writing #writingandbooks #writingcommunity #writingworkshops

#WritingCommunity - New writing journal. I've been doing this since I was 14 and it still feels magical. Also, my writing pen was crafted from two old dining room chairs. #Authors

In the hustle to complete and edit, then find a good publisher, it's easy to forget what a privilege it is to be a writer. But today, I'm feeling blessed and lucky to have this collection of transatlantic short #fiction heading out into the world. #authors #Blueskywriters #Irishauthors #amwriting

Working on a piece about growing up on our farm in Mayo. The focus is on our limestone stone walls. But then, I came across this stone wall here in #Massachusetts. So should I title it, 'War of the Walls?' Or, 'Walls at War?'😀 #writers #blueskyauthors #Irishwriters #amwriting

You never know what you'll come across while out on a Sunday-afternoon hike. Walden Pond in the background. Stopped for a chat with this stone builder--only to learn he's a fellow Massachusetts #writer. #authors #writers
