Dear Reader, It is a pleasure to introduce you to this, my memoirs, written and edited by me, Erin Quinn. My friend Clare gave me this notebook for Christmas, and I think I’m going to use it as a diary. I mean, all the great writers kept diaries and it seems a bit shameful that I’ve never actually managed it before. But this year is different. These are extraordinary times in Derry – historically, politically and culturally and I suspect that it may soon become clear that I’m … well, the voice of a generation. After all, writing isn’t a choice. It’s a calling. I hope, dear Reader, that you enjoy, cherish and value my insights. To get a fringe or not to get a fringe? Pros: will look French Cons: might go frizzy ‚Erin is sixteen and wishes she had a boyfriend and a life. Nothing else really happens… It’s boring.‘ Orla McCool
