'So, get outdoors. Shop locally. Talk to your neighbours. Talk to strangers. Give something back to your community. Read newspapers, watch TV news, listen to news podcasts, and question every single thing you’re told. Take public transport. Bake bread.' So wonderfully put @fhayesmccoy.bsky.social

Love the last point Ronan – 'Negative feedback is a certainty and ultimately vaccinates you against trying to please everyone'. Will remember that.

Read this earlier on Elizabeth. It's stayed with me. Quietly moving, and highlights how vulnerable immigrants often are to those within their communities.

Doing well thanks Scott. In London again after 13 years in Barcelona (quite a shock to the senses to be back). Publishing house is on hold until funding comes through, but pressing ahead with my writing. I've been shortlisted for best short story at the Irish Book Awards which is a big lift.

Great stuff Scott. I always wondered whether you liked Denis Johnson or not. Loved Angels – currently rereading. I'll definitely get a copy of Nobody Move. Would love to know your thoughts on The Largesse of the Sea Maiden, Tree of Smoke, Train Dreams. And also Seek – the non-fiction collection.
