Happy Saint Patrick's Day! #irishwriter Witty & poignant. In NYC, a lot of McCourt's students were from immigrant families and faced many of the same issues with identity and cultural adjustments that McCourt himself faced. #saintpatricksday☘️ #memoir #irishreadathon #kissmeimirish🍀 #bookstadon

Ah, the joys of being a self-employed writer. Every payment I've been due over the last few weeks has been delayed, and I've had to chase payment. In each case, I've been dealing with someone on a regular wage. Wonder how they'd feel if they had to constantly ask for their money.

One of the nicest things about school sessions is when the kids create art ahead of your visit, so you walk into a school like St Mochta’s in Clonsilla to find this kind of thing.

A child's drawing of the cover of my book, Mad Grandad's Flying Saucer, showing Grandad and his grandson Lenny in a flying saucer with the Earth floating in space behind them.

A child's drawing of the my book, A Short, Hopeful Guide to Climate Change. The front cover has the title in black on a white cloud against a sky-blue background, with a cartoon sun sticking out from behind it.

A child's drawing of me, a white guy with greying hair, dark-framed rectangular glasses and blue eyes.

A child's drawing of me, done in pencil to a high quality, alongside the cover of my book, A Short, Hopeful Guide to Climate Change, which has the title in a white cloud against a sky-blue background, with a cartoon sun sticking out behind it. My name is reversed out in white and beneath the picture are the words 'St Mochta's NS 28-2-23.

As as self-employed children's writer, it's possible that, for a *single hour's work*, I might have to:
Provide a quote
Fill out a supplier set-up form
Read and sign a contract
Provide an invoice
Apply for Garda vetting (police background check)
And chase for payment.

Just to get paid for that one hour.

Yesterday, I finished Big Bad Me by @Ashilockie. It was a lot of fun and a nice throw back to the style of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You can read my review here:

I've been a bit quiet here recently while working on some more long form writing. I'm nearing the end of that project so going to try and kick start things here again.

It's was my grandmother's 10th anniversary during the week so I dusted off the poetry muscles to write something new

Finally had a chance to read Old Game Plus. Loved the mix of stories written by Seamus Kavanagh. My favourite is Weapon of Choice because of the twisty ending. The artists on this one are hugely talented. Well done all involved.
