Write Side Of The Road

thoughts and tales from the underworld

Hi there. My name is Paul Huggard. I’m a writer who lives in Dublin. The empty page is where I go to breathe.

My wish is for writesideoftheroad.com - thoughts and tales from the underworld to be a creative space where you can also breathe, a safe haven in which you get to slow down, and relax. Below you will find links to my blog, books, poetry, calming photographs and tips on the writing process, as well as other links.

Photos taken with the treasured camera my good friend George sold to me before he passed away suddenly. He was meant to teach me how to use it. I’m still waiting for the refund.

Influences

Favourite quotes and appreciations of people and places who have influenced me along the way. To the beautiful people who dare to dream. To the one’s who strive to be who they really are. To the one’s who dare to hope and feel their fear. To the one’s who shine a light on our darkest moments. To the one’s who listen out for the silence and fill it with words. Hopefully their words and deeds will inspire you as well.

WRITE SIDE OF THE ROAD - THOUGHTS AND TALES FROM THE UNDERWORLD

Writing allows us to make sense of experience. It’s taught me to get out of my own way. Not to overthink it. Often I don’t know where the words come from, only that they travel from somewhere so deep inside that they have to fight like mad to find a way to spill out.
