Check out her great, pragmatic advice now >>>bbc.co.uk/blogs/writersroom/…

If your Valentines day is a little 'lacking' we suggest a glass of wine and a good old giggle listening to Hornicast! Enjoy!

Our last 2 scripts couldn't be more different - a raw and undecorated true story followed by a wild space comedy. Both are therapy. Love this!

Had the absolute privilege to see Tracy Chapman perform around 30 years ago and I STILL talk about the affect she had on me. Amazing woman.
I can’t remember being this moved by a performance. The peerless Tracy Chapman performs Fast Car with Luke Combs for the first time in years at the Grammys. This is very special. #TracyChapman #GRAMMYs

Is Ireland the only country where simply saying 'Good enough' (for them) is literally a massive put down?
A great day of presentations and pitches today in Galway @ardan_ie

For your first long read of the year, we're climbing 15 Storeys High with Sean Lock's cult Radio 4/BBC Three sitcom. comedy.co.uk/features/comedy…
Love this grounded look at real people's journeys. Including parts of therapy sessions onscreen is vital - needed to demystify therapy in Ireland.
