I always write in terms of scenes, and for a big scene in one of the Cromwell novels, I will prepare for several days by going through all my notes and all my sources before diving into the writing.
At that moment where I commit to the writing, it is exactly like walking on stage. All your senses are alive and it is as if you are straining your ears for the sound of a response.
I’m passionate about words, whether it's copy-editing, writing fiction, or research for a news article. I have a degree in English with Creative Writing from NUI Galway and a MA in Newspaper Journalism from City University London.
