In 2016, I was invited to have a conversation with
Gerry Kelly on LMFM Radio about my book 'Gullible Travels'. Nigel & Cormac Talbot, the brothers who raped me during my child & teenage years, complained. Gerry Kelly read a scurrilous apology for broadcasting the truth. I took legal action.

A 'support me' pitch is just like any other pitch.
Script it in advance and practice it on your cat. Learn how to ask for support as an active practice. People around you want to help, explain how and why and be clear.
You don't need more socks. You need to buy advertising.

Open a dedicated savings account that is for your writing. You don't use this money for emergencies like a flat tire. You learn to avoid spending it on anything not tightly measured for your writing journey. This means YOU support your writing FIRST.

It has to be named after Maureen Sweeney, the Irish meteorologist who gave the Allies a critical weather report before D Day.
Irish aviation history and meteorological history are intimately linked, and we're a Republic - we don't name things after Taoisigh here (except in Cork).
