Information
  • If you write in more than one area, what is your next most favoured genre?
    Comedy
    Who is your favourite author(s)?
    Nick Hornby, Sue Townsend, Marion Keyes
    And your all time favourite books? (You can change these at any time, by the way ...)
    I enjoy a laugh and basically read for fun - whether it's the Adrian Mole books taking me back to childish obsessions, collected ramblings of favourite comedians, or the camp charm of chick-lit. I'm also a sucker for the story-telling power of JK Rowling
    What are your working habits when you write?
    Procastinatory
    Are you the edit-every-sentence-ten-times type, or do you prefer to let rip?
    Some self-editing
    Your ultimate writing ambition?
    To actually finish a novel, be proud of it, and hope at least one other person enjoys it; particularly if that person is my husband,Tim, who has been patiently waiting for me to write something more than poems about evil coathangers and odes to poo.
    Your worst habit?
    Not saving documents that I work for ages on on a dodgy computer that is prone to crashing. That, and filling out forms and writing nonsense when I could be working on my 'project'.
    Your opinion on the books industry?
    Too much celebrity and hype, but good books still get through
    Where do you write?
    In my head, occassional words make print
    What else do you want Word Clouders to know? eg: do you have 9 cats / like paragliding / eat nothing but tinned fish / work in the bath / live in Kettering?
    Left Australia and moved to Ireland where there are no jobs, no sun and no excuses not to write.

    Hey Sinead ..... not professional per se ... though i do get paid for writing a column on lifestyle/financial stuff and have had a book in that genre published - I even got a tiny advance! .... but i have recently pitched my publisher with a short story book and am awaiting their cynical response eagerly! ...... thanks so much for your very kind comment by the way ......

    So God Complex?? What are you going to do with it?? I think it would be a great 30 minute 6-8 episode series.. If that is the avenue you were hoping to persue!

    Yeah. Well you'll have to enjoy the sun for me I'm stuck in bed. Where in Australia are you from? A had an Australian drama teacher for years from Perth and I have family out near there somewhere.

    Hi. Nice to see someone else living in Ireland there aren't many of us here. Your right about the sun thing!

    I am working on 2 scripts right now. The Fifth Column - a political thriller. Also one called Chosen, a bit less realistic.. I will take a look at your work in a bit.. Although i am prob not the best to give it constructive feedback. Comedy is not my strong point as i am prob the most unfunny guy on the face of the planet. So you are Australian? Mega!! ;-)
