Writing Coach | Author | Lover of Story | Believer in Words | Story Editor | Photographer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m Irish. \u00a0A country girl born and reared in the land of Saints and Scholars. Somehow, and gratefully, in my life search for meaning, I found writing. And story. Words feed my soul. Right-brain\/left-brain learning processes feed my creativity.<\/p>\n

For 33 years I\u2019ve passed on what I\u2019ve learned as a lover of story and believer in words. When I haven\u2019t got a pen in my hand it\u2019s my camera. To clear my thoughs, I head out into the garden, and grapple with the weeds.<\/p>\n

This is my blog. I muse about all things writing. Share Ireland with you. And use this blog as my image gallery.<\/p>\n

Irene is the Founder of The Creative Writer’s Workshop<\/a> and The Memoir Writing Club. <\/a>She is also Author of The Memoir Writi<\/em>ng Workbook.<\/em> In a previous life Irene was a professional photographer with Getty Images\/New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n
