How to Get Kids Excited about Shakespeare

May 3, 2016 By Erin Beasley

How to Get Kids Excited about Shakespeare -- Write RightUnless a kid has theatrical or literature leanings, most don’t care all that much about Shakespeare. It’s required reading to muddle through in junior high and high school. Cue the cliff notes! The kids might enjoy it if they have a good literature teacher who explores the language and imagery, but even then, the end result is much like the one faced by poor Emily Dickinson: something to be read and promptly forgotten.

Creativity and Process

December 12, 2013 By Erin Beasley

Creativity.Creativity isn’t a process. Advertising is a process. Creativity is a manic construction of absurd, unlikely irreverent thoughts and feelings that somehow, when put together, change the way we see things. That’s why it’s magic.

What Does “Creative” Mean?

June 20, 2013 By Erin Beasley

What does "creative" mean?A long time ago but in this same galaxy, I had a college roommate. She and I once had an interesting conversation about creativity:

Roommate: I’m not creative.

Me: What do you mean you’re not creative?

Roommate: I can’t draw like you. Or write.

Roommate: But not well. Not like you. I’m not creative.

Me (a little frustrated): That doesn’t mean anything. You don’t have to draw or write to be creative. That isn’t what “creative” means. Your (sociology) work is creative, too.

Roommate: Right…

I might be a little excited about the film version of The Hobbit.Jason Konopinski is to blame for this post. Although I have contemplated writing a post about why I draw comics for a few months, I usually set the topic aside in favor of other subjects. I was content with that reality until Jason published his post about why he podcasts.

I’ve Got to Run Off to a Termite Inspection

July 31, 2012 By Erin Beasley

Don't be fooled; those stairs are infested with termites.When I told my friend, Kaarina Dillabough, I had to run off to a termite inspection, I meant it. I was running off to a termite inspection. She may have known I was being truthful, but she followed my comment with one of her own: “‘I’ve got to run off to a termite inspection’ would be a great title for a blog post.” I verified that she meant her words and, without further ado, accepted her challenge.

Effecting Change in Corporate Communications

July 25, 2012 By Erin Beasley

Bravery is a prerequisite in this line of work.When I first started to realize what I wanted to accomplish with Write Right, I became overwhelmed. I realized I was dealing with a mode of thinking, a culture, regarding communication. I didn’t know how or if I could change it. I’m one person.
