Criticism

Alone, this word may strike fear in the heartiest of writers. We've been trained to believe that the word criticism leads to bad things. We've even come to preface it with a term like "constructive" to soften the potential blow. But, in all honesty, in the writing world, we need to consider the word's secondary definition: the analysis and judgment of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work.

Inspiration

So, what inspires the story teller? Why do we put pen to paper (a phrase that may go the way of the Dodo in a not too distant future)? Personally, I write stories because I feel guilty not using one of the few unique talents I have. But, I also write because I enjoy the process.

Welcome!

Hi, my name is Scott Mulraney and you don't know me...yet. I'm a thirty-something unpublished (as of yet) writer with big ambitions. I have an idea that I'm working on right now that I think will be huge...if I can pull it off.
