Mark Stay's Creative Differences

Caimh McDonnell: Notice When You're Doing Your Best Writing | Mark Stay's Creative Differences Ep 18

Mark Stay Season 1 Episode 18

Caimh McDonnell is the author of the Bunny McGarry trilogy (not a trilogy) and the Stranger Times series (definitely a series) and his latest RING THE BELLS is one of my favourite books of the year.

In this festive special, we discuss:

  • How travel triggers story ideas
  • The value of short stories
  • Why calling something a trilogy is a bad idea
  • And why it's crucial to take note of when you're writing good stuff, and much more!
