The Working Writer

Whether your a twitter follower (@DailyCreativeWr) or a facebook fan (https://www.facebook.com/seawritemedia) or just one of my loyal friends, here’s the place where I get down and dirty and actually write. Here’s the place where you’ll find travel essays and poems, book excerpts and the fruits of short writing exercises. Maybe I’ll post the pages of the screenplay I’ve been working on since college (hint: it’s about a catastrophe involving the Chunnel) or a paragraph or two of orphan description or dialogue in search of a story to call home. It’s all here. Please let me know what you think, I’d love to hear from you!

Hell-Raisers and Truth Chasers

You don’t have to be a firebrand to change the world, just aim for the truth and write from the heart.

Flaming Out and Rising High

Just because you stopped writing doesn’t mean the story is over, every failure is just another opportunity.

Creative Killing Fields

As writers and creatives, we must protect nascent dreams and ideas from the vagaries and cruelties of the real world.

Be Brilliant, Be Vulnerable

To thrive as a writer, you must allow vulnerability to seep into all you create, and wholeheartedly invite it to take a seat at the table.

Give In, Say Yes, Feed Your Desires

For writers, hunger and desire can be fuel for creativity and productivity.

Big Dreams and Small Egos

For writers, expectation and ego can be the most damaging vices of all.

Face Your Fear, Find Your Freedom

Replace assumptions, dig deep, and ditch fear for freedom.

Going Off-lead

Writing can be like riding a horse on its off gait, the best solution is to loosen your grip and let go.

Where’s Your Will to be Weird?

Writers observe, analyze and articulate, making us the ultimate outsiders and the oddest-man-out of the bunch – so embrace the strange and let it lead you to unexpected triumphs and adventures.

Late Bloomers and Creative Harvests

Don’t believe the hype! Even if everyone IS better off than you, it’s in your power to change the course of your life!
