From a young age, I have loved to write, and find writing about my worries helps me get my head straight. I came across this story about a new initiative for young writers today in the Irish Times.

Fighting Words is a path to freedom, a resource, a nest, a friend, a challenger, an oasis, a hothouse, a story contraption, a publisher – a magic door to revelation. Every year this amazing space convenes thousands of pop-up gatherings of creative writers. Every year it spawns thousands of ideas that become thousands of stories. And every year thousands of stories transform thousands of young lives.

And we all lived happily ever after…
