My name is eileen and I am beginning this blog today March 2nd 2009 as a means of recording my work, hopes,dreams and realities.
The craft of writing has been a double edges sword for me- I love it but I can’t for the life of me get to it. It kills me every morning that I wake up and think to myself ” Right so up ye get and onto the story” and then this other me pipes in and says, “Ah come on… its cold…lie in a little longer… it’s a lousy piece of work anyway… what the hell.. stay here why don’t you.” And THAT is the voice I mostly listen to. Curses…. It slays me to even make this confession BUT I believe that if I keep this account I will be able to rise up from the bog of non-activity and surf a while with the feeling that at the very least I am keeping track of what’s what and the life I have. Such as it is.
Great thanks goes to Brian Timoney for getting this up and running.Cheers for even remembering that I wanted to get at this work. There have been many bloggers that have made me read with attention. I’ll add links to these folks who write ever so well and have delightful information and stories to share. For the moment I’ll add an image and get back to the work of writing about the work.
