On The Edge

I hope you have taken this opportunity to find that space and time to write. So today I am encouraging you to be brave, don’t hold  back with self doubt, don’t be critical, be positive and write your first chapter. It does not matter what your writing is like. When I went back to compile my chapters into a story, my writing was terrible. But at least I had something to work with. I started the…

    The difference between ‘Show‘ and ‘Tell ‘is that ‘Show’ invokes from the reader a mental image of the scene/emotion. In contrast, ‘Tell’is a statement of an action/emotion. The goal in your writing is to provoke a reaction in your readers, for them to feel the emotions your character is feeling. It sounds easy, but it is a difficult task. Once you get it, telling your story will flow. It’s…

Hi everyone, it’s a while since I posted on my blog. Wow what a time we are going through with the Covid 19 Virus. It’s like living in an sci fi movie. Isn’t it?

Well since I last posted I have being doing a lot of writing courses and workshops. I have finished my book Eventide Love and wrote short film script that was about to go into production but had to be postponed because of the virus.  So…

As we start the run into a possible Presidential Campaign in Ireland, it’s hard to believe it’s seven years on since I worked on the David Norris Campaign. Seven years since I was unknowingly at the crossroads of my life in which I made a choice that was to shape who I became. It was the start of a reckless, destructive relationship with Paul Allen. Seven years of living with the scars of mental…

‘Why did I fall so hard?’

Below is my latest article published in The Journal.ie today in light of the legislation explaining why making Coercive Control a criminal offense in Ireland is so Significant.

Before

Looking back, can anyone ever find the moment their world turned? The minute, the second – even, when the time before tips over into the time after, and you realize that even though you didn’t see it then, everything has begun to go irrevocably, disintegratingly wrong? Thinking about Chris and me, I can’t help but wonder if that moment isn’t usually when the sun is shining at its…

Over the past year or so, there’s been a seismic shift in the way society talks about abuse. When I went public about my emotional abuse four years ago, I was scorned, disbelieved and castigated for “washing my linen in public.” Thanks to the powerful women speaking out against even more powerful men there has been an explosion in conversations around harassment and…

Bleary, knuckled shoulder blades, fading energy. Five solid hours of editing my blog to book as the new year closes in are taking their toll on my mind and my body.  I am drifting in and out of focus, trying hard to give the editor what she wants. I am alone, only with my computer open to the screen of blog texts. My blog writings at the time took on the rawness of the abuse I felt from the…
