I was lucky enough to do MJ Hyland's workshop when she was in town. Good to see the video and be reminded about taking your writing seriously... stop the excuses and get on with it ! Would have liked to hear more of what she has to say but thanks for these grabs.
Like the comment about vividness in writing, where writing has a real energy about it..
