The Writing Life: July 2005 Archives

Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

“The Druids”

Jul

I've been doing some research on the Welsh traditions and, by extension, the Druids, for a possible novel set on the Isle of Anglesey.

Here's some interesting information from a site I visit frequently: Irish Druids And Old Irish Religions

I've had a little bit of a hiatus while getting used to going back to school at 32 and 5 kids and so on.

I felt pretty proud of myself the other day: I wrote a 1,000-word short story in one sitting. It was for a short story competition. I missed the deadline, but at least I've got a workable story that I'll send off to the literary mags.

It feels good to be writing again.
