    I was reading somewhere that there are more writers per 1000 of the population in Ireland than any other country. Is this true? And are there many here who have written, tried or wanted to write a book?

    Just depends on the point of view. I have boxes full of stuff I wrote when I didn't have a computer + CDs full of stuff I have written more recently.
    I wouldn't be looking at being published. I write for myself, it's a 'private' pleasure. And I wouldn't say I am good enough to be published in any case.
    When I write about somebody, I make them read what I wrote. It's things I didn't manage to say.
    Otherwise, I do know plenty of people who write and are trying to be published. I wouldn't know of the Irish ratio though...

    I'm in the process of wrestling out a work of fiction at the moment. Have previously seen m'name in print, but not on the spine of the great modern novel unfortunately so that's my next goal.

    Tell you what though, and I know I've posted this somewhere before, but my GOD it takes AGES...
