Time for your weekly writing prompt—see if you can steal away for an hour or so and relate a story you have heard told—perhaps many times.

The Lie That Your Story Has to Be Dramatic Drama queens are suss.

A memoir can be as simple as a record of what your daily life was like at a certain time of your life or an account of how you came to be who you are now. But you don’t need to be famous or have something dramatic happen.

Public libraries, literacy and the public good — Áine Greaney After I graduated from college in Dublin, I set up house in a studio flat at the top of a house in a tiny, one-street town in the Irish midlands.

Q: When you move from home to live alone in a tiny, watchful town, what or who comes to save your 20-year-old self?
A: The local library and librarian.

A friend found a copy of my first #middlegrade novel on display at a school library. It's been a minute since it was published, so this was gratifying, to say the least. Yeah, I'll be living off that for the rest of the year. #childlit #humor #sciencefiction #Booksky #Booksandwriting

Recognize yourself in this? I do. This is a grand of mine and I got a tear in my eye when I saw it. I never post pics of grands, but this should be seen by all of us who love reading, writing and anything in between. #amwriting #5amwritingclub #romancelandia #booksandwriting #reading #booklovers
