Wanna know a secret? Of course you do. In the history of that question, there’s only been a handful of people who’ve said no, and we both know they were lying. If you’ve been reading my words for longer than a year, know me in real life, or have ever exchanged an email with me, [...]

Why I’m Moving to Ohio For Another Woman

I’m Pito from Indonesia. Been following your blog for quite some times but trying to keep myself under the [...]

This is one of those weeks. You know the ones. It’s the last week of school, plus Max’s final day of Kindergarten and birthday both fall on the same day. Time mocks me. I’ll be back next week with some regular posts, but I was thinking that in the meantime you could help me out. [...]

Been Weird Lately

Written by Writer Dad on May 7, 2010 - View Comments
Categories: Writing

Been weird, not writing. Life’s never been busier. And though things are terrific, I’ve hardly have time to think, let alone craft copy for Writer Dad. Most of what has been published here lately are words written long ago, then stored in WordPress like wood for winter. The few times I’ve managed to find the [...]

Missing You

Written by Writer Dad on March 15, 2010 - View Comments
Categories: Writing

I’ve missed you. I’ve missed sitting down, sparking thought like a current through my fingers, then standing satisfied. I miss the reflection and the typographical look in the mirror. But I’m happy. Really, really happy. For those of you who don’t read Ghostwriter Dad, Dave and I have started working with Lori Taylor and her [...]

Welcome to the Creative Copy Challenge

Written by Writer Dad on January 18, 2010 - View Comments
Categories: Writing

One thing about the Internet is the amazing speed at which it is possible to throw up a site and build a community. Toward the end of December, Shane Arthur, an acquaintance who I’d met in the comment section of Copyblogger, approached me with what I thought was a good idea. Shane wanted to spark [...]

One of the most significant things about this past year, was discovering the depth of that relationship’s roots and the direction they’d send a large slice of my life. When Dave [...]

  • 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.
