Rick Meyer asked Ruth Finnegan:

Hi Ruth! What's next as you consider your next piece of writing?

Ruth Finnegan My academic ethnography on taxi drivers’ lives. It’s a fascinating and important, under-researched, subject which I’m enthusiastic about, but I’m afraid the half-finished full manuscript ( I HAVE published a quick preview) has been hanging around for some time ( um,,does that ring any bells with anyone else?), it’s much harder to research and write up than my creative works which just arrive in unsought dreams. But I’m glad to say that I’m now getting on with it. To tell the truth I keep on being a distracted by my screenplays which to my utter surprise I’m now not only getting into but winning prizes for; what’s a feature film is currently being produced in Nigeria ( ‘No biscuits in heaven’ - who can deduce first why I called it that?)lDid you know - this was new to me - that Nigeria is the second of the three top filmmaking countries in the world: first India, then Nigeria (‘Nollywood), third US. I live and learn

Regards dear fellow readers and writers, Ruth (www.ruthhfinnegan.com)
