Yay! I went grant application mad and applied everywhere. One came up trumps. Money for a trip to Annaghmakkerig and some tickets for writing events but mostly money for time to write. And I will. Oh the bliss.

Great news! Congratulations! Now I'm rubbing your blog for luck, because I'm about to put in an application myself for a residency that I would love just too, too much; if I get it I might burst from joy. If I don't I'll cry.
Typical.
Anyhow, enjoy your writing and traveling and more writing!
Congratulations, good to know that occasionally the system works and money trickles down to actual real life aspiring writers.
Brilliant News !!!! Well done.
Hooray! Well done you - that's the ould perseverance you see.
Thanks everyone. I'm still in shock
Nice one, well done you. Think I need to keep doing the lotto :-)
well done and very well deserved!!
Congratulations! That's fantastic news!
Long time reader - first time poster. Well done to you! Delighted your efforts have paid off.
Who did you apply to for the grant? Annaghmakkerig looks so lovely. I have regular daydreams about going there to write.
Ooh, that's brilliant news - congratulations :o))
Mazel tov!
congrats.. shock or not you deserve it IMHO, and I agree with everyone else it's nice to see money flowing in the correct direction for a change. Grant applications - IMHO the only form of writing that blocks almost every writer I know... there should be awards just for finishing those applications.
Well done! When's the grant-application workshop happening then? ;-)
Fabulous!
Well done!
Thanks everyone for your comments and particularly welcome to new commenters/readers. There is a big element of lottery with grant applications, that's for sure. I applied to my local co co. I love AMK and aim to go there two separate weeks a year for creative re-energising. It's a very special place.
This is *such* great news. I won't say I'm not envious because I am. After last years slew of rejections I thought I'd never bother again!
But I'm SO glad you got one!
That's fab - the TGC is such a treat, isn't it? Enjoy!
Fantastic. Major congrats! You're inspiring me to apply for a Travel & Training Award ...
Bit late with my congratulations but Well Done! That's really exciting, hope you get time to do some great work :)
