Happy World Book Day!

To celebrate I released a copy of Amy Green into the wild – well, the end of Dun Laoghaire pier – as part of the book crossing project – www.bookcrossing.com
Wonder who found it!

Getting back to the writing now after a heady month of events – and enjoying it very much. Of course, I’ve had to start again – reading through the book (Amy Green 4) from the start – as I’ve forgotten what’s happening and all the plot details. Just goes to show, daily writing is the only way to get a book finished – or at least weekly. Unless you have a much better memory than I do – which wouldn’t be hard. The summer I turned 13 – no problem. Last week – um, not so good!

Memory is vital to any writer – how you felt when your beloved godmother died, the fear and panic and joy of giving birth, waiting in the hospital with your 3 week old to get tests back, the agony of waiting for the phone to ring . . . we’ve all experienced so much in our lives. If as writers we can really, really remember how we FELT when these things happened, and can translate that emotion successfully on to the page, then we’re getting somewhere.

Happy writing!
