Can Creative Writing Be Taught
After reading Alexander McEvoy’s “How Do (I) Write?”, I commented on how the unique journey of a writer’s process cannot necessarily be taught, that it’s something that we must figure out for ourselves on an individual basis. Alexander McEvoy replied that he does not know if creative writing can be taught because it is so individual. This led me to wonder the obvious: Can creative writing be taught? If it cannot, then why do we have so many courses and workshops claiming to do so? Are we just all being duped by some big money-making scheme?

How do (I) Write?
I read Mackenzie Davis's "How do YOU write?" and the questions asked in that text were very interesting for me. I think about writing a lot, and I think about how I'm going to write my next piece a lot. So the answer, for me, is haphazardly.

My Content Creation Game
And no, I don’t mean an actual game, although that would be fun. I just thought the title would be catchy. ;) But for my followers and subscribers, you’ll be noticing my content-sharing patterns and routines changing as we head into the fourth quarter, which should be a nice shakeup for you.

Still looking for that item of interest to aliens?
Entries into the Vocal Extraterrestrial challenge, so far, have been a lot of fun for the reader and writer alike. If you haven't already done so, or think you can come up with another poetic masterpiece, you still have seven whole days left to have a go and make yourself a winner. Yay!

Origins with Dean F. Hardy
Welcome to the Origins series, everyone. I was missing my interview series, Center Stage, and had this idea to do a much shorter, chat-style conversation about specific Vocal pieces. The idea is that the creator chooses one of their works on the platform (or I can choose one if the creator can't decide), and we get a chance to dig into the meaning behind it as well as the writing process in a casual, relaxed format.
