ABOUT THE CHANNEL

Want to write fiction on the side of your job but worry about having the time, energy or ideas? Have a creative side you feel is under-used, or stifled by routine?

This channel helps you with:
1) Sources of Inspiration - to get your writing started
2) Ways of Forming a Habit - so writing becomes a regular practice

The goal is to make creativity not just a passing moment, but an integral part of our lives. In the process, we can expand our curiosity for the world and our sense of connection to ourselves and other people.

I'm Greg - I've been writing fiction for six years on the side of my job, first in law and then in government. Recently, I took a career break and moved to Buenos Aires to make this my focus. Over time, I've picked up lessons that have helped me enormously and I would love to share them with you. I will be posting a new video every weekend. I hope you enjoy!
