All the best with the applications and submissions! The folklore essay sounds so interesting- I love the way that things like that feed into wider projects - nothing is ever a waste of time!
Thanks for the shout out, that was a nice surprise, as I hadn't seen the notification. I absolutely love the sound of your memoir, I love generational stories, family relationships and especially exploring historic family mysteries - Blackpool or Isle of Man! I'd wanted to include my grandmothers and great grandmothers in my memoir, but will have to be the second one - hence the need to finish the first! Good luck with the Jerwood-Arvon application - well done on completing the submission!
Congratulations on the long listing and lots of luck for submissions - even though I know the intention is just to enter without a focus on the outcome will still be cheering you on from over here. You’re an inspiration, truly!
Wow, so many inspiring achievements in your writing life amongst your busy “normal” life! Well done Ellen and congratulations on the long listing! And wishing you all the good vibes for the residency 🤞🏽
Thanks Ingrid 🥰 I’m glad I pushed myself to apply/submit/take part in so many writing things this autumn, but beginning to feel like I might need to sleep for a month to recover!
Your productivity levels are an inspiration!
It’s occurred to me that I may have made the same comment on one of your updates before, in which case I apologise. I’m prone to repeating myself!
Really inspiring. Wishing you luck with all your various writing projects.
