Sarah by J. T. Leroy. This was a book that

Sarah by J. T. Leroy. This was a book that I was strongly recommended to read. I loved the start and end. I loved any of the parts with the main character and his mother. The middle section where the mother was absent didn't feel as emotionally correct. The narrator is a 12 year old boy who is a prostitute like his mother. However, the only time I believed this was in the final pages. Great characters with some good scenarios but not a huge recommendation from me. . . .Sarah by J. T. Leroy.

Irish Book Week kicks off today until 3rd November. Books

Irish Book Week kicks off today until 3rd November. Books upstairs in Dublin City is my favourite bookshop. It now has a beautiful coffee shop upstairs with cool views. They regularly host poetry and fiction readings and champion the emerging to the more commercially successful writers. Bookshops, to me, should be staffed by people who read books(a no brainer, you might think but I've been in ones where book staff had not heard of Carver) and who are not up their arses. Sorry to be vulgar but reading and selling books shouldn't make anyone feel superior. The owners and staff of Books Upstairs are book lovers and friendly without pushing books on you. They recently pushed their bookshop through to the other shop next door. The children's section is full of quirks. They sell a big range of lit mags, bookmarks, book loot etc as well as books! Next time you're in need of a book, don't say you didn't know! . . . .Irish Book Week kicks off today until 3rd November.

I always see the value of having someone to read

I always see the value of having someone to read my writing and give me help, support and push me on. I'm ultra fortunate that this guy, brilliant author and rock dude, Peter Murphy is writer in Residence in Carlow till December! He reads work so carefully and really has given my writing the focus it needs. Go raibh.I always see the value of having someone to read my writing and give me help, support and push me on.

Richard Skinner references Aristotle who was referenced by Paul Schrader.

Richard Skinner references Aristotle who was referenced by Paul Schrader. On plausibility in writing fiction. It is plausible because it should or needs to be true not that it could be true. It's complex reading but it means a lot to character writing and helping gain a reader's trust. . .Richard Skinner references Aristotle who was referenced by Paul Schrader.
