A Nightmare on Copernicus Street

A Nightmare on Copernicus Street

The title for my latest blog post is borrowed from the 1980s horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street, which some of you might remember. So why that particular horror film? Easy. Because yesterday’s experience truly was a nightmare, though not involving blood, guts and gore. It just involved the gory state my soul was [...]

Another Year: Your Very Own 365-Page Book

I know that some of you might think it’s a bit late now to be writing about the New Year, already five days into 2019. But it’s still seasonal here in Krakow, with the Christmas market still flourishing and snow silently falling as I write this, and Twelfth Night upon us tomorrow, so these are [...]

Love, Thanksgiving and Dungeons

In case any of you are suffering from a touch of post-Thanksgiving blues, why don’t you come and join me here – in thought and memory at least, if not in person. I remember a very special Thursday in November, all of twenty-one years ago. My Philosopher-lover and I had been invited to an American [...]

How to Cope with Post-Holiday Blues

You could say it’s a strange time of year to be thinking about post-holiday blues. But having just returned from a long-distance trip which was rather special, for various mysterious reasons that I am not about to disclose, I’m not ashamed to admit that the blues have hit me particularly hard this time. Do please [...]

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Lights

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Lights

Yes, I know, that’s an illogical title because lights are inanimate objects without hearts and therefore don’t have feelings. But what about the person who’s looking at them? Haven’t you ever done that, on a sombre autumn evening, like the one that’s engulfing me right here and now? Haven’t you ever stood on a lonely [...]

Oh, to be a student again! – or not?

So, here I am on my last day in London, about to fly back to Krakow tomorrow evening. My daughter and I have been here for two weeks, instead of the one week I originally planned. The idea was to help her settle into her university Hall of Residence, before leaving her alone to the [...]

And They Lived Happily Ever After … once they split up

And They Lived Happily Ever After … once they split up

So here I am at my laptop once again, at the end of another week, writing yet another blog. Actually, I’m on an aeroplane right now, together with my daughter, on our way to England. Our final week has come to an end. Yesterday was our last day at home, and now, at 8.47 on [...]

About Me

Wendy Skorupski

Wendy Skorupski

My elixir of life is playing the piano and writing. I couldn’t live without either of those two dimensions! I’ve written several novels, with my latest one soon to be released. I had an international upbringing in Cyprus and Vienna, and finished my higher education in England, qualifying as a Music and English teacher. I work in the field of international education, dividing my time between Krakow, Wroclaw, London and Liverpool. But I am mainly based in Krakow, my beloved fairytale city!
