Strictly Writing: Mary Dinan

Mary Dinan started out in radio as a 13-year-old and by the age of 17 she became a television presenter with RTE, winning a Jacobs award. More recently she has started writing features for her local newspaper while keeping the day job in a special needs school in Ireland.
Although Mary looks normal and sensible, she's not always - she likes to do unusual things. Recently she served up a fake rubber egg to a dinner guest and put a remote controlled fart machine under a tax adviser's chair. That’s only the tip of the iceberg.
In 2013, she signed a book contract with an international publisher. Her travel book will be released later this year.

Welcome

Welcome to our blog. We are a varied group of writers - published and aspiring; poets, short-story creators and novelists - with one thing in common: an enduring love for the craft of writing. A love which requires great resilience in the face of recurrent self-doubt, writer's block and rejection. In the face of the obsessive checking of emails, inch high dust and burnt dinners. In the face of a gamut of RSI injuries and writer's bottom. But a love that repays itself ten times over with those sparkling seconds of elation when finally, the right prose unfolds, like a quick-footed jive or seamless Cha Cha Cha. That's when we trust once again the voice in our heads that urges... "Keeeeep writing!"
