Today was a fantastic day with the writing workshop that I organised for my Wednesday and Saturday classes with the short story writer and poet Nuala Ni Chonchuir.
Some pics:
As you can see from all the smiling faces, everyone seems to have enjoyed Nuala's input. We covered the 'theory' aspect of short stories in the morning, and then in the afternoon, Nuala gave everyone useful feedback on the work that had been submitted. The standard of work in short stories and poetry was very high indeed, which is very encouraging and affirming for everyone involved.
As ever, huge thanks to Dundalk Arts Office for their fantastic support, without which these workshops simply wouldn't have been possible.

I love the atmosphere of goodwill and energy here.
Hey Barbara, they sure all look like happy campers!
The day sounds lovely...let me know if you ever consider doing some workshops online! : )
Thanks Kay, they all seemed to enjoy themselves immensely.
Now Liz, that sounds like an idea to me...
Looks like a smiley event. I love workshops.
Hi B,
It was a great day. But, the old story, there was not enough time. We could have talked for hours more.
Thanks for the great welcome in Dundalk! Nuala x
Everyone enjoyed themselves, Jon.m, lots of smiles, and they gained a lot in confidence too - even more smiles :)
Cheers N, talk to you soon!
It looks like a great success all round. You must be well chuffed!
Very pleased for them and for Nuala, A, it went so well :)
Congratulations on organising this event. Is that a man in the photo with his face hidden or was it all women this time? Why do more women go to these sort of workshops, I wonder?
There was a man there in the morning session, EW, but alas not in this photo! I know it is curious why more women come to CW than menfolk... we are getting our own back on the world..?
