A little bit about me, K.E. Creighton
I am a writer and reader who believes in the power of storytelling. Never pretentious. Rarely conventional. Occasionally poetic. Often philosophical. Always human.
I have a master’s degree in English with a concentration in Latin American and Latino Studies, a B.A. in Philosophy, and a B.A. in English. After my time in academia and working for various businesses and corporations and publications, I decided to become a freelance writer, which was one of the best decisions I have ever made. To say that I write for a living still gives me a thrill every day. The flexible hours and working conditions don’t hurt either.
I live in Colorado, USA, where I love to hike in the mountains and be outdoors as much as I can with my husband and rescue dog, Lilly. When I’m not outdoors or reading or writing with my rescue cat Edgar on my lap, I’m probably perfecting a variety of my favorite vegetarian and vegan recipes, attending a show of some kind, hanging out with friends, or enjoying art.
I want Daily Drafts & Dialogues to be so much more than just another routine Substack for writers. I want it to be a relevant daily literary companion that is geared toward open-minded and curious writers and readers, especially those who are constantly looking for opportunities to improve and practice their craft via drafts and dialogues, regardless of their skill level.
I also want to help facilitate deeper connections with fellow indie authors, creative writers, critical thinkers, and prolific readers who are interested in building an engaged and supportive network of open-minded and creative people who believe in the power of language and storytelling. One draft. One dialogue. One day at a time.
Some of My Philosophies
On Writing
Always start writing with a vital question in mind or to better understand an emotional state. The best writing usually necessitates combining these two elements with great discretion and diplomacy, regardless of what’s written.
Fiction, poetry, and creative writing often reveal fundamental truths and facets of humanity that nonfiction cannot.
Write before you are ready, then you will always be ready to write.
Keeping a consistent daily writing habit is the most important thing any writer can do if they want to keep writing. The Muses are not always reliable, but the passing of time is.
You cannot be a prolific writer without also being a prolific reader.
On Reading
Everything read can inspire something that needs to be written, if one is reading with an attitude full of curiosity and sincere empathy and not harsh judgment.
Read as often as you write. And try your best to read every single day, even if it’s only for ten mintues— especially if you want to write every day.
On Life
Be curious, not judgmental.
Never lose your sense of wonder.
Stay grounded and grateful every day, but don’t forget to dream often.
Try to leave more than you take as often as possible.
Do hard things that need doing without reservation but with grace and humility.
Question and appreciate everything in equal measure.
