A Girl's Writing Is Never Done (c) Shauna Gilligan 2026
I was delighted to be featured in Episode 13 of Christine Schnell’s Unlock Your Magic Podcast. Hear us chat about trying to slow down, the changing nature of authenticity and finding joy. Listen here.
And while you’re there, have a listen to the other chats Christine has about being End of Life Doula and Caregiver, technology in our lives, the medicine of darkness, synchronicities …and more!
Thanks, Christina for the wonderful, curious quesitons!
I’m delighted to have a short story “Like a Hook” in the Spring 2023 Issue of Crannóg (Issue 58), it’s one of ten short stories in this issue. It’s a beautiful publication, with stunning art work, and a wonderful selection of fine poetry and prose. Brava to the editors. You can purchase Crannóg here. I was very disappointed not to be able to make the launch which was held in the Crane Bar, Friday 31st March. With thanks to the editors for accepting my work!
One wishes that with the spring light comes hope – of life, of new starts, of peace. And, perhaps, humbly, one hopes for creation.
Creation is, as Rita Ann Higgins says in Hurting God (Salmon Poetry, 2010), “a combination of the gut, the heart, the mind, the notebook – then the hard work starts.”
Let the combination, and the work start, or rather, make a start within a sliver of light.
