Viva La France...

Yes just back from 10 days in a villa in the South of France (no recession round here!) and am delighted to reported that I was suitably inspired to do some writing while I was there...a whole chapter! (Well it was very warm by that pool.)

Anyway, very depressingly, i am now back at my desk but am feeling suitably motivated so better get on with it! Now if I could just bring myself to turn off Ray D'arcy...

The Dublin Writers' Group

By popular demand, The Irish Playwrights' and Screenwriters' Guild are re-starting the Dublin Writing Group. This is for people who have written or are writing for performance. The introduction meeting took place on Monday (27 April 09) and due to to the large number of writers joining, there will be two groups. One group, who will meet every second Thursday, will be dedicated to writers who are working only on screenplays (film). The other group, meeting every second Monday, will be for writers in all disciplines of performance-writing - film, television, radio and stage.

If you wish to join one of these groups, contact the Guild. As the first meeting has taken place and there are approximately 8 people already in each group, there may be limited places left.

Repetition...a writer's cardinal sin!

and it begins....

Welcome to my Blog, part of my website (paulfitzsimons.com/paulthewriter), on which I will share my joys, adventures and despairs (not too many of them I hope) that go with writing a novel...while trying to get another one published.
I will probably take the occasional break from all the 'novelling' (I know, not an actual word) with the odd short story or poem, which i will publish on the website and would appreciate your thoughts. Be kind!

I hope it will be of help to fellow writers (no, you're not alone...definitely not) and entertaining for the rest of you...hopefully, you'll be laughing with me...

Enjoy

(This is only repetition if you're reading this after coming from the website)

Right, back to procrastination...I mean, writing...
