Coming Out…
Some of you may have noticed the dwindling blog posts during the last few weeks. While I said I’m busy, that’s only partially true. I’ve also been wrestling with a difficult decision to come clean with you, the reader. While you have gotten to know me (and my writing partner David Wright of Blogger Dad) [...]
A Content Marketing Carnival
If content marketing doesn’t bore you, then you’ll think this is awesome. I’ll keep it short either way. Though I have a lot going on, I try to keep business off the site as much as possible. Occasionally I’ll mention something either because I think it’s of genuine interest, or (rarely) because I’m trying trying [...]
The Awesome Stuff Your Child Says!
Yes, we have another site in our syndicate. But if you have kids, you’re going to LOVE it. Have you ever been in line at the grocery store and had your son or daughter say something that made you want to melt into a puddle and then get mopped into a bucket? Or has your [...]
Protecting Our Children From Narcissists
NOTE: This is a guest post from Lori Hoeck from ThinkLikeABlackbelt. In the white-water rapids of parenting – when work, visiting relatives, or perhaps that needed car repair threaten to swamp your raft – it’s hard to rearrange competing priorities. Sometimes it’s all you can do to lift your paddle, or drag your fingers over [...]
I’m Fat!
I’m fat. Not like Elvis Presley on the year I was born, with lardy ridges rolling off of my body, fat. But I’ve got work to do. Last year was rough. Though I’ve been known to fart sunshine, I’m as human as anyone. And when my going gets low, by going likes to get eating. [...]
Another Interruption, Sorry. But You Really Should Read This
We’ll get back to Four Seasons tomorrow, with July. Today I’d like to send you somewhere else. I promise it’s well worth the few minutes, and will take only about 25% of the time as one of my long-winded stories. : ) James Chartrand, of Men with Pens, has always been an inspiration to me. [...]
This is How the Law of Attraction Works
Once or twice a month the four of us pile into our mini-van and head to CostCo on an afternoon quest to binge on household essentials. CostCo, like any other big box outlet selling salad dressing by the drum, is permanently overpopulated. Though I have always enjoyed our trips to CostCo once inside, I used [...]
Sean and Bird
There are many things I love about working with David Wright, but his sense of humor might just be my favorite. This showed up in my inbox yesterday, right out of nowhere and connected to nothing. I can’t stop laughing. Starting today, and running for the next several weeks, Dave and I are running a [...]
The Genie in My Pocket
“Dammit!” I knew I should have pulled off sooner. According to my directions I’m still a few miles shy of the Kodak Theater. I’m late for the conference, lost, and the emergency light on my fuel gauge has been lit for ten minutes. I look left, then straight ahead, both directions showing nothing but a [...]
So I Finally Got an iPhone…
“The iPhone is the most sophisticated, outlook-challenging piece of electronics to come along in years. It does so many things so well and all so pleasurably.” ~ David Pogue, US technology writer as Apple’s new iPhone hits US shelves June 2007. I’ve hedged on this post for a while. You see, I really don’t want to [...]

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.
