I like your blog. My blog is only a month older than yours. It’s really hard at first to pour your heart out wondering if anyone is out there. My early blog posts (that nobody read) are starting to get hits and comments on posts. So happily no effort is wasted.
I hope you are doing a better than I am at blogging but still working on WIPs.
September 1st, 2011 at 17:07
Hey, thanks for commenting! I know what you mean. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the amount of people who are happy to pop in and say hello. In fact, I think writing a blog just might take a slight sting out of the lonely job of writing… it gives you that feeling that at least good people like yourself are out there and willing to read your musings.
November 6th, 2011 at 18:45
Ohhhh Sue…just want you to know that, as an aspiring writer, I find your blog-spot to be an haven. I share your sentiments that it feels good to know that “people like yourself are out there and willing to read your musings”. So you can imagine how I felt like I hit the jackpot when I see that a way more experienced writer like yourself stopped by my page and subscribed. I almost hit the roof. I am happy that you did and was even more happy when I see that the aim of your blog is to assist people like myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and you officially have a blog stalker 🙂
November 6th, 2011 at 18:55
That’s very sweet of you CJ, thank you!
September 2nd, 2011 at 17:46
Hi Sue
Thanks for liking my blog. I recognise your name from winning the Molly Keane competition. Well done to a fellow Waterford writer – even if I am technically a blow-in.
September 2nd, 2011 at 17:58
Hi Derbhile,
Thanks for your comment! I think we’re covering very similar areas with out blogs and we Deise scribes need to support each other : ) Thanks for your congrats on the Molly Keane Prize. Winning the Molly Keane had long been an ambition, not least because I’m such a fan of her work, and I’m from Waterford, and my grandmother was from Lismore… I don’t think bagging the Booker would have meant as much (well…OK, that’s probably not entirely true). I’d love to hear where your at in terms of your writing etc…
May 11th, 2013 at 01:45
Your grandmother was from Lismore? Who was she?
September 2nd, 2011 at 22:14
I like your blog. A lot of new and more seasoned writers can always learn something. One thing I have learned blogging on here is not to make your blogs too long. And if you go on about something create a lot of paragraphs. The break helps the eyes.
September 2nd, 2011 at 22:17
Hi David, thanks for the comment. I agree, I’m a the fan of the short and succinct. I’m saving my more detailed writing for the novel : )
September 4th, 2011 at 11:00
How kind of you to add me. I’m a refugee from a variety of sites – Live Journal being the main one. LJ has become a victim of Russian shenanigans so isn’t always reliable. In pursuit of more efficient networking, I’ve ended up here.
Have minimal expectations, but you never know…
Looking forward to reading you. In the meantime, I have a book to revise 😉
September 4th, 2011 at 11:05
Hi Carol, thanks for checking in here too! We all have a book to revise : ) And hanging around here helps, or at least provides a decent displacement activity. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the experience.
September 4th, 2011 at 18:07
Hi Sue!
I cannot wait to take a look at your blog. I’m absolutely positive it will be inspiring and educational. Thanks so much!
Patricia
September 4th, 2011 at 18:10
Thanks Patricia, I hope you find it to be so!
September 4th, 2011 at 20:42
What an impressive writing resume! I look forward to reading more.
September 4th, 2011 at 20:47
Hi, thanks for your comment! It will be more impressive when I get this dang novel published : ) How is your freelancing going? Writing’s not easy but it is so rewarding.
September 5th, 2011 at 23:40
Hi thanks for following my blog, it is very kind of you considering all of the experience you have had and here I am only just starting out. I really like your posts and am glad I have come across your blog and that you came across mine (:
September 6th, 2011 at 07:45
HI Dan, I’m just starting out too, in many ways. We should all support each other. Thanks for the comment!
September 6th, 2011 at 14:43
Just noticed that you subscribed to my blog. You lived in Budapest? My uncle and family have lived there for about 15 years, now. They’re the only redheads in the city…I think. 🙂
September 6th, 2011 at 17:06
Then it is quite likely I know them… The expat world is rather small and it sounds like we’d have been thre the same time…
September 7th, 2011 at 01:36
Hi Sue,
I will enjoy learning from you and your blog. I also enjoyed the comments from other like minded folks here and plan to investigate their blogs as well. Thanks for checking out my blog.

September 7th, 2011 at 22:02
Hi! I just saw that you subscribed to my blog. I’m honored, especially after reading through your writing achievements! I’m still in the amateur stages, but I hope to be published someday. I look forward to reading your blog and learning everything I can.
September 7th, 2011 at 22:21
And I’m honoured that you popped by to say hello! : )
September 8th, 2011 at 19:34
Thanks for checking out my blog.
I need to tell you that I am actually not a writer. I’m just a blogger who enjoys writing about why people should blog and other things ( http://wp.me/p1Cvgh-2l ). I hope some of your writing tips rub off on me, but until they do; please excuse any errors. 😉
September 8th, 2011 at 19:44
Hi Rebekah,delighted you dropped by. Don’t worry, I’m not cruising for errors : ) I wouldn’t last long in that glasshouse.
September 8th, 2011 at 19:47
Hello!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and subscribing! 🙂
Blessings,
~Laura
September 9th, 2011 at 09:14
Just wanted to say thanks for following me, that must have been some terrible mistake and I am sure by alerting you to it you will rectify the error at once. Or perhaps the idea was to have a ‘how not to write’ blog on your follower list as an example for the others, that seems most likely. Or at least more likely than an award winning short story writer from outside the states actually reading one of my little scribbles and enjoying it.
Good luck with the novel, I can’t wait to read it and look forward to the work to come. Thanks for the support,have a good one.
September 9th, 2011 at 19:27
Thanks so much for following my blog! It’s very encouraging to see someone successfully leading the writer’s life that I hope to take up in the future. I’d be very interested to hear about your experiences at UEA, as I’m hoping to study there next year.
September 9th, 2011 at 20:20
I think I have to join the chorus … I just saw your subscription and it is both a pleasure and an honor to have you following along. Best wishes…
September 10th, 2011 at 14:46
Thanks so much for subscribing to my blog. Not only is it encouraging when people follow my attempts at writerly meanderings, it also means I have discovered your blog. What a treat for a novice writer! I shall look forward very much to your future posts.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:57
Hi Sue
Thanks for subscribing to my blog – am truly honoured 🙂 I’ve been browsing yours and love some of your tips for novice writers such as myself.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:59
Hey Maria, Thanks for dropping by and I’m glad you found the advice useful.
September 11th, 2011 at 15:38
Hello! Great blog, loads of stuff here; I need to pop back and peruse when I get some time. I teach in prisons too. Currently it’s IT – I ran a creative writing course once, and it definitely taught me more than I think I taught them. Anyhow, thanks for the subscription, and keep on with the great advice!
September 11th, 2011 at 20:22
Hi Sue,
Thank you so much for following my blog. Having had a quick glance through your blog I see I shall have to return and have a look through the entries in more detail. Looks like you have a ton of great advice!
Hope you are well 🙂

Sue, Thanks for following me. Hey, Waterford is one of my favorite places. What a history lesson to share about that city.
As most of us here, I’m up to my chin in revision. The NY editor told me last week that the light is shining bright at the end of the tunnel but until then I struggle to find time for this blog scene. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.
September 12th, 2011 at 00:29
Hello Sue!
Thank you so much for following me. I’m brand new here at WordPress, and everyone has done such a wonderful job making me feel welcome.
It looks like you have had many accomplishments! That’s fantastic! I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.
Please keep in touch!
September 13th, 2011 at 17:27
Hi Sue!
Thank you so much for following me. I’ve been writing since high school, but never finished anything to my satisfaction enough to submit for publishing. I recently joined a writers’ group who have both encouraged me and given me useful feedback on my stories, and I’m now seriously concentrating on getting published. My blog is more of an opinion piece, and random observations, and helps me with the development of my stories. I mainly put the directions I’m heading in, and what I like or dislike, and strive to achieve with my stories.
While I’ve taken a few creative writing and literature courses, my fields of study are engineering and accounting, so it’s good to see someone with a degree in writing looking at my blog. I’m very open to feedback and suggestions.
September 14th, 2011 at 19:53
Super cool blog you’ve got here! As a fledgling writer I have found what I have read so far really useful, thanks so much for sharing and I look forward to coming back and reading more. 🙂
September 14th, 2011 at 20:43
Thanks! That’s very motivating!
September 15th, 2011 at 02:58
Sue it was so very kind of you to stop by my blog and read (any of) my stories. You left me three words, and I wanted to let you know that your story is ready. “Now That’s a Horse of a Different Color!”
I hope you enjoy it, I am certainly enjoying all of this wonderful (read free) advice that you offer everyone here, and will continue to come back for more!
September 15th, 2011 at 07:46
I’m running to work now but promise I’ll check out the story tonight. I’m looking forward to it!
September 17th, 2011 at 10:39
Hi there Sue. Thanks for subscribing to my blog. I tend post randomly and about anything that takes my fancy. Look forward to reading yours, and hopefully getting some tips.
Cheers, Tony.
September 17th, 2011 at 20:11
Thanks for following my blog – because it made me discover yours! I think it will be very useful to me. All the best and well done on your recent shortlisting achievement.

Dear Sue:
Thanks for finding my Medial Eden/ Cosmos blog worthy of your subscription. I too am revising my first novel, “Adolph’s Knee: The Diagnosis”, which was inspired by a linchpin story my father told me a couple of years ago. It is now in the Library of Congress with its own number- made me feel good to get that certification from the LC. Good luck with your writing as well. I hope my future posts and ideas are worthy of your attention.
By the way, I also am researcher and product designer for EDUSHIRTS which is our family’s small business. Online our store features items to promote tutoring businesses of any size. Perhaps you might find some of our ideas useful. Let us know if we can be of assistance in helping you get your ideas to the marketplace!

Hello, Sue! Thank you for reaching around the world and across cyberspace to follow my fledgling blog. It’s great to meet you. And thank you for sharing your ideas, support and insights. I read “A Dream on Tour” about your workshop…what a fascinating idea! I love the structure. How did it turn out? Though I swore up and down in my youth that I would never teach, I find that I greatly enjoy it. There are many people around here who have ideas, or works-in-progress, and just need a guide. I’m looking forward to learning from you and I hope I can provide creative energy for you as well! Cheers – Elizabeth
November 5th, 2011 at 23:00

Hello Sue,
Thank you for popping by my blog. I write a lot about the experience of writing on my blogs and on HubPages.com. I notice you enjoy poetry. I’ll have to check out what you’ve written!
November 26th, 2011 at 23:10
Hi Michael, I’m not much of a poet, I’m more prose – but I did do some ‘slam’ events back in the day…
November 27th, 2011 at 01:31
Hi Sue, really great to meet a fellow Irish woman on WordPress 🍀 Thank you for visiting my site, I’m glad you liked it. Congratulations on you’re achievements so far, I’m sure there’s more to come… Best of luck with the new draft. 😊

November 29th, 2011 at 23:27
Hi Sue! Thanks so much for visiting on my blog. I’m so honored that you like something you saw there as your bio is very impressive. I saw one of your answers above and totally agree that blogging lightens the loneliness of the writer. I have only been blogging since July and it has been a joy to make such a lot of creative and generously spirited friends, amazing to see what others are producing artistically and willing to share! I’m following you now so I won’t miss your future posts and have to carve out some time to catch up on what came before.
December 1st, 2011 at 07:31
Hey! Thanks for looking me up 🙂 You do seem a rather intriguing creature yourself 😉 looking forward to checking out your writing! Thanks again 🙂

December 5th, 2011 at 04:17
Thanks for stopping by and subscribing to my blog. It sounds like you do very meaningful work and have quite a broad presence.
For now, I’m not sure that certain tips apply to my poems. I can’t imagine how hard it is to write fiction–short stories or novels. I have no drive to do so…poetry is my thing for now.
I’d love to read your work…Best wishes on the blog! Looks like very valuable information.

Thank you so much for sharing with us and for following my mumblings! :o) Being a “new” writer and learning as I go, is challenging to say the least. I’m honored to be in such company. I’ve read some of your work and enjoyed it very much.
As a former soldier and police officer, I find your time in Budapest fascinating. I look forward to learning from you and following your amazing journey. Take care.

Hi Sue,
I came to this page to thank you for subscribing to my blog.
Then I read your “About Me” section.
WOW! What an incredible story your life is so far! I just love that you teach creative writing in prisons – I think that is an amazing idea. I haven’t even been to the “blog” section of your blog yet, and I am already inspired. Thank-you.

Sue,
Thanks for following my blog. I’m pretty new to this whole online writing thing, but I’m finding a lot of enjoyment in it. As an aspiring writer myself, I’ll likely be following your blog pretty closely. It’s nice to see someone with such lofty credentials as yourself who isn’t above blogging and fraternizing with us incipient artists and writers. And I’m glad you took the time to check out what I had/have to say. Thanks again!
December 12th, 2011 at 18:42
Hello Sue, thank you for all of your wonderful posts. You are on my top favourite 15 blogs listed here: http://everedwater.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/versatile-blogger-award/ Keep up the good work, and I look forward to reading more!

Hi Alexandra, thanks a million for the nomination. I tend not to do these ‘pass it on’ type of nominations, but I really appreciated that you thought of my blog. All the best, Sue.
December 30th, 2011 at 19:24
Hello Sue,
Please accept my apologies for sending you this woefully belated thank you for following my blog. A flurry of new subscribers joined when it was “Freshly Pressed” during our Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., and I’m only now digging out from under. I hate being late with correspondence—especially notes of gratitude, and especially notes to other writers. I’m honored by your support, intrigued by your own site, and eager to read more of your work.
Thanks again, and best wishes for the new year!
Warmly,

It looks like you have already been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award. But I wanted to let you know that I am nominating you again. I really like your blog and all your advice. Great stuff, keep it up!

I must say that I’m honored and humbled at the same time. I was scanning my list of blog followers and checking their blogs for a good read. I found yours and boy was I glad to click it.
I am honored because a real creative writer followed my blog. I am humbled because now that I read yours, I see a lot of things that I must improve. I do hope that you could mentor me, however remote the possibility of that happening is.

It is great that you teach creative writing to prisoners, perhaps if more people engaged with those in prison there would be less reofending.

Wow! It should have been me, if I hadn’t taken that wrong turn. 😉
Fair play to you, Sue. Obviously very talented. I read a book one time about a writer who was teaching creative writing in a women’s prison. I think it was Colin Bateman. I could be wrong. I still remember the opening line “Her voice was nicotine..”
May your success continue to grow and grow.

I commend you for teaching in the prison system – I did some work as a volunteer in teaching decision making to pre-release inmates – so I know you are doing good work with this.

Hi Sue a reassuringly hearty resumé!. For some reason my thoughts switched back (five minutes ago to be precise) to The Daffodil, for which I provided music. I never heard the result!!
How can one make this possible??
Hope this message finds you, & well..

Will!! Lovely to hear from you! Sorry the link was not passed on to you, I’m sure I sent it to Natasha. But no worries, it’s still here on podcast: http://kclr96fm.com/documentary/daffodil/
I hope all is well with you and that we get an opportunity to work together again…. there are a few projects in the pipeline. Drop me a line at bpapartment@gmail.com all the best, Sue

This lady introduced me to Creative Writing, and since then I have gone on to win many awards with Kiestler Arts trust. I have written a Creative Writing course that is now available for prisoners to study. And while continuing my degree in English Lit and C Writing (OU) I am now working g with a prison education provider.
Thank you Sue
