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.

Everest in 2012. This blog got about 7,700 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 13 years to get […]
Read more "2012 in review"Taking breaks and strategizing By Elizabeth Cutright I’ve crossed a desert, dodging semis and Sunday drivers, and am now spreading holiday cheer and trying to recuperate after weeks of nonstop action. If you’re still wrapping gifts or making one last trip to the store, I feel your pain-I procrastinated to the point of ridiculousness this […]

Read more "Ruffled Feathers"Navigating your office holiday party. By Elizabeth Cutright “I want to give a really BAD party. I mean it.
