Losing Our House With a Smile on My Face
Life’s been tap dancing on my toes for a while now. But each day this year has been better than the one before, and it’s possible that right now at this moment, I’ve never been happier. I’m not exactly sorry I’ve been away, as I’ve been tending opportunity, and that is after all why I [...]
Writer Dad 3.0
Yippe Skippee – There’s a shiny new Writer Dad! I spent December scribbling ideas, tossing them away, then scribbling some more; desperately seeking a means to pull the awesome from Writer Dad I knew was waiting inside. I ought to be able to publish nearly every day without being boring, but it was a feat [...]
Happy New Year!
“Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.” ~Benjamin Franklin Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were awesome. Our winter break was wonderful, with Christmas endearing and New Year’s exciting. Santa delivered on his promises to both Mia and Max. [...]
Guess Who’s Back!
Istarted Writer Dad last summer with a five day a week commitment and didn’t drop the ball once for the first six months. Since then I’ve been trying to hit a bulls-eye with a shotgun. By the end of last year I’d written myself in a corner. I had succeeded in nurturing a wide, warm [...]
Content Creation is Fun
Content creation is fun. I love writing sure, but creating content using many different elements is remarkably rewarding. The Collective Inkwell just created out first commercial for Potty Training Power, our system for potty training help. David Wright did all the drawings, a buddy did the music, and I wrote the jingle then put it [...]
These Are Our Balloons
Happy birthday Writer Dad! Today you’re one year old. 365 days ago Cindy and I made a decision that has since twisted the wind of our lives. I stepped online a tentative writer, but thanks in large part to a bustling comment section I was able to find my voice rather early. Those first few [...]
Meme Oh My-O
Today’s Writer Dad is some supremely light reading. I’m answering Marc’s meme. I’m not crazy about memes in general, but Marc is one of my favorite freelance writers and these questions seemed like a fair spot of fun, so here goes: Who is the hottest movie star? Cinematic history is a bit too long to [...]
A Cornucopia of Thanks
First off, I wanted to say thanks to all those of you who came by the Collective Inkwell to wish Dave and me well on our new writing and creativity site. We had such a wonderfully warm welcome. I also wanted to say thank you to those of you who subscribed to the Ghostwriter Dad [...]
Welcome to the Inkwell
I may be a ghostwriter, but today I’m just a guy in an orange vest pointing you in a different direction. My long awaited custom copy and design studio co-owned with cartoonist and journalist David Wright is now live. It’s called Collective Inkwell, where we do ink…well. Anyone who reads Blogger Dad already knows Dave [...]
I’m Moving!
“The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.” ~ Alan Alda Writer Dad has been one of the most unexpected and edifying adventures [...]

Hi, I'm Sean Platt - author, father, and Creative Director at Rev Media Marketing. Writer Dad is my life as it unfolds. This chapter of my journey began two years back when I took a chance on myself by closing a successful business to pursue my dream of writing for a living. It was the craziest, riskiest and most wonderful thing I've ever done. Well, except for becoming a dad.
