HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL

Confidence to write

quote4-wI am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. And I don’t mean lying back on the couch, just poring over Pinterest, Instagram or Facebook and liking and sharing quotes about positive living. You’ve got to clarify what you want to do. Then you’ve got to take small steps to achieve your goals. Now, when it comes to creative writing, I really believe that if you can talk, you can write. To become a writer, you must simply write. And you simply must read. Enjoy the journey. It can be frustrating but oh so enriching and rewarding too.

getoffPhone Aren’t you curious about this Mindfulness thing? Don’t we spend far too much time plugged in, online, on calls, sorting mails, reading texts, switching apps, then needing naps?! What if I told you – you can do all that and more and not get bogged down? Want to develop your own stress survival techniques? Come find out on Sunday afternoon, November 6th, 2016. Take some time out and explore your breath and learn some simple relaxation tools. For more information click here.

Exciting creative writing class

It was so lovely to meet the new bunch of scribblers tonite for the first in a series of six creative writing classes I am running in the lovely Gateway space, Rathmines. 

We got down to scribbling pretty quickly and managed to squeeze in a chocolate-fuelled tea break to boot. They’ve been sent off with short writing assignments for next Tuesday, their heads full of characters and possible plots already. A great array of talent with varied interests and tastes and, as always, a super bunch of maggots! Looking forward to next week already.

Creative Writing Testimonial


Amy is an inspiration! I took part in her Act the Maggot class and
creative writing class 3 years ago. What a fabulous opportunity to reach your inner creativity, in a safe, nurturing environment. Loved every minute of it.
