  #WritersCoffeeClub #WritingCommunity 23rd Sept 2026. What "little thing" really helps you write? My captain's chair with two cushions, one under my bottom to pad the hard leather seat and one at the small of my back to aid good posture.

  #FediCoven Our granddaughter will ring the bell in the children's cancer ward this Wednesday. She is officially clear. It's huge. Three-year treatment plan ahead with weekly tests and no one is guaranteeing anything, but right now at this moment there's no cancer in our little girl. Huge gratitude to the Mórrígan who promised me she would rid our girl of the cancer, and to all of you my dear friends here for your love and prayers and support. Thank you. I love you. x

  #FediCoven Our 12yo gd had surgery yesterday to remove her internally fitted chemo line. It seemed to go well. She's home now, to recover gently and start putting a bit of weight back on. She's exhausted, almost transparent with big dark panda eyes. A 3-year weekly treatment plan is ahead, but hopefully the worst is behind her. Thanks to the Mórrígan, who promised me she would bring our girl through this. And thanks to you, my friends here who have held our girl in prayer. Thank you. x...

  #commonwealthgames We don't have a TNT Sports subscription so will only see the highlights programme on C5 each evening, which is a shame because we love these games. And I don't do instagram or facebook so won't see all the updates British Gymnastics are promising to post there. I'll just be here, watching this hashtag.

  #ScribesAndMakers #WritingCommunity 29th Jun 2026. Share the last line of dialogue you wrote. Aisling: “I’m nervous around Charlie. He’s dark and brooding, angrily suspicious of anything that might be like old human ownership of nature. Pa calls him a firecracker. But then he's friends with the mother whale, and they're so tender together. He makes my tummy flip.”

  #Fedihelp Is anyone here in contact with #LadyGaga? My 14yo grandson who I love dearly is lying in hospital on life support. His mum, my daughter, is reading aloud for him the David Attenborough book he was planning to get. His favourite artist is Lady Gaga and my daughter is trying to contact her, to ask if she might send our boy a message to be read to him. It would mean a lot. I know this is a long shot, but can anyone put me in touch?

  #WordWeavers #WritingCommunity 1st June 2026. Let your MC introduce themself. I am Medb, pronounced May-v. I am like generations of my family before me the steward of this forest on the west coast of Ireland, and in my yard on the beach I continue my family trade of building wooden boats. I am a wife, twice over and twice widowed, mother to a fine woman, grandmother to two, and soon to be a great-grandmother. My way of life I inherit from my family, including my dedication to the Mórrígan.

Late evening, old man sitting at his desk in a glow-globe of candlelight, staring into depths, occasionally testing a phrase for its shape, typing hard in sustained bursts.

  #ScribesAndMakers #WritingCommunity 7th May 2026. When did you think of the idea for your current project? Do you remember how it came about? Two months ago, on 1st March. It bloomed in my resting mind like a flower, the initial picture of it entire. Even its structure was there, along with the nature of its narrator, and its ambition excited me. Considering I officially retired from writing in December and didn't write a word through midwinter, I'm coming at this fresh and e...

  #WritersCoffeeClub #WritingCommunity 14th Apr 2026. Do you consciously work with syllabic stress to create rhythm? Not so that the narrative will be monotonously regular, but I do work to create an elegant style and rhythm is in the mix.

  #WritersCoffeeClub #WritingCommunity 26th Mar 2026. How much of a break or hiatus do you take between works? Whatever comes naturally. I'm under no pressure to proceed at any particular pace, so I go with the flow. A project might follow its predecessor the next day. Other times I give myself a rest, sometimes it can be a few months long. There's no timetable.

  #FediCoven 1/3 Our 12yo granddaughter's surgery was major and complicated, because the big tumour had ruptured, seeding itself on different organs around her abdominal cavity, so they had to remove more than just the intended ovary. We've visited her twice while she waited for the test results to all come back and a treatment plan to be decided. She's tiny, our little love, pale and exhausted, but her mischievous sense of humour is still good.
