A bit of writer self care this afternoon. Great seminar run by Arts Council of Northern Ireland on managing rejections and disappointment. Dr Annette Clancy brought new perspectives to the part of writing we don't like to talk about. A very worthwhile afternoon

Great to read some of my work in the 'Leid Week' launch of Yarns5 at Ballyclare Town Hall tonight. A lovely event that took me right back to my roots - with Scottish country dancing, a piper and tartan carpet 😀
