My MLitt in creative writing really did make my manuscript what it is. It made me write it and put a rocket under the idea. Always here to chat through the tricky bits of writing for arbitrary academic deadlines though!
Merci beaucoup, Annette! Sadly I believe this eclipse will only be visible for totality from certain places in North America (from parts of Mexico up through Maine and certain parts of Canada.) There’s a link explaining the path of totality here: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/
People in Ireland will have a better chance for totality during the next eclipse I mentioned (August 12, 2026.) Something to do with the fact the moon is smaller than Earth and so its shadow as it sweeps across the sun in line with Earth means its shadow only falls across a certain part of our planet each time an eclipse occurs. A woman I met in a café the other day tells me her sister is an “eclipse chaser” (in the same way others chase tornados.) Certain people will plan to be wherever the next path of totality falls. This time it’s primarily across parts of North America where I believe we must wait again until 2044 for another. 😊
I loved this Nancy, thank you and congratulations on the MFA!
Ah you’re so kind, Harriet! I’m so glad we connected in Lindsay’s Memoir-in-a-Month. 🥰
Beautiful words and congrats on embarking on the MFA!
Cheers, Kirsty! Means a lot. Thank you so much 😊

Truly appreciated, Kirsty. Believe that I will likely take you up on this offer at some point. Thanks. 🥰
Beautiful Nancy! I wonder now whether the eclipse will be visible from Europe... (And congratulations on your MFA!!)
