Gabriel García Márquez’s daily schedule (in 1999): 5-7 am: reading 7-10 am: breakfast, newspapers and email 10-2.30 pm: writing 2.30 pm: lunch Afternoon and evening: “appointments, family, and friends”

I love that this story made its way to Ireland after being inspired by workshops I attended there with Claire Keegan and Tessa Hadley. And in The Four Faced Liar - that pearl of a lit mag!

Reading this now and WOW

For the Mums

The first Munro I read was Runaway. I remember I was in bed and my heart was literally pounding, as if I was reading a thriller, at how she just nailed life to the page.

Only 2 days left to send us your work! Our submission window for Issue #3 closes at midnight on August 14th. Irish Writers Centre Irish PEN Munster Literature Centre writing.ie Poetry Ireland / Éigse Éireann

I wrote a long story about making art and caregiving which sounds like a bummer, but it isn't! Really! It's just been published by The Account theaccountmagazine.com/article/lang-2…

I wrote a story. It was rejected 42 times before being published. Now it's published, but no one is reading it. Being a writer is fun, you should try it.

Massive thanks to everyone who read my story and/or sent words of encouragement. Honestly can’t believe how lovely you’ve been. We still have a great community of writers and readers here ❤️

when it's snowing the outdoors seem like a room

Got a beautiful send off from my workplace of 14 years. Started a new job this week, and got shortlisted for the Newcastle Short Story Award!

Someone needs to write the first truly great American satirical novel of the 21st century and call it Gulf of America.

None of you thought to mention how good this is?!

It’s publication day! My heart is very full. Am so thankful to so many people for helping me get here. There were so many moments I thought this would never happen! Thanks to anyone who has bought a copy, who has read it! Thanks to all the lovely messages of support!

We need something like this in Ireland! ... Kit de Waal to headline new literary festival celebrating female writers over 50 thebookseller.com/news/kit-de-wa…
