Twavoca - a local tweet-up for local tweeple

And in other news, I suggested a small local tweet-up last week, in Avoca Rathcoole. Several great twitter buddies turned up, all fellow Inkwell writers, and we had a jolly good natter.

There's a small piece about it here on A Kilcullen Diary. In the photo, left to right, are @mduffywriter , @Strictlyinkblot , @hotcrossmum (and her children), @aurora111 and me, @janetravers

Many thanks to @KilcullenDiary for putting this piece on his blog.

Catharsis for Stephanie Butland

The lovely Stephanie Butland (@bahtocancer on Twitter) put the call out a couple of weeks ago for someone to do a short piece on writing as catharsis.

Now, since my entire writing career (such as it is) came about from the search for catharsis, I readily agreed to bang out 500 words for her. And here it is, on her blog: please read and enjoy!

Comments welcome, as ever. :)
