A question for writers. When you take a break how long does it last ? And as a follow-up do you think the longer the break the harder it is to knuckle down ? Asking for a friend 👀

Glad to hear this Hannah. Hope you are well x

Hi Tom. Haven’t been on here for months but just wanted to say hello and hope all is well !

Two couples bumped into each other in a taxi line, kickstarting a friendship of almost 40 years | CNN Brits Tony and Karen were feeling lost on vacation. Americans Alan and Mary Beth stepped in. A years-long friendship was born.

Here is a pinch of positivity. I’ve just read the story and I think it is just lovely. Such a gentle nice story a tribute to the belief that people are in general nice and strive for connection

Well we did ye a favour tonight. Partially.

47 trips around the sun. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life comes down to family and the capacity to be kind. My birthday wish? That we all try a little harder to be kinder. Love to all.❤️❤️

That’s really good.

Alan. Come on.

Did you just wake up and it was just there ?

3 years work. Finally finished. That will do Pig. That will do.

This is such the best news. I joked you years ago that I was going to make this happen but I can’t take any credit for it ! A whole new generation of kids will discover your beautiful book. That must be the most wonderful feeling x

The twins do in the kitchen but only to play Abba and the Vengaboys. It’s hell.

You turned me on to Sayaka Murata I’m excited about that one.

Thanks so much for that !!!

I don’t think so. Took on JD Vance a few months ago publicly.

All good thanks. Life is great but hoping to see more films !

@baloobas.bsky.social 👋 hows it going ?

Delighted that my first ever short play, Views from a Couch, was one of 15 shortlisted by Cork Arts Theatre for their Ten Minute Play event—out of over 100 submissions. So grateful to have made it that far. Might keep this writing malarkey up.❤️

“Do I not like you Rónán Hession?”

Lean on your friends.

I do Mick and excellent at it too I believe. This will be contemporary stories though , fiction using locations rather than historical or factual in nature. Personal project ( one for me)

Working on a new project: a live short story walking tour of Cork City. Fictional tales performed at real locations—North Main St, Grand Parade, Carey’s Lane, the Bus Station and more. One hour. Ten stops. Cork stories, Cork soul. #Cork #ShortStories #LiveLit

Public service announcement. After a few episodes I can say that When Life gives you Tangerines is one of the most beautiful shows I’ve seen in years

I’m genuinely wondering how the Penguins are going to pay the tariffs.

Hi Des. Took a detox. I’ll be in touch soon !

This is my favourite took of all time. On mu last count I have gifted it to friends over 40 times. I’m overjoyed for Rónán who is one of the nicest kindest people you will ever meet. I’m proud to know him.

Thanks for the favour. Delighted for ye but that result also suits us kindly too !

I bought another copy of it at the weekend for a friends birthday. I’m so excited for them to read it.

I wrote something similar but i was 40 👀

Loads of options ! Hope all is well.
