Writers write, right?

“If you throw enough shit against a wall, eventually some of it will stick.”

— James Garside

Long ago, I taught creative writing to young people on residential courses. I called it graffiti living.

This episode is my original manifesto for graffiti living. Adapted from my creative writing workshops and talks.

It includes my writing rules, how to overcome your creative roadblocks, and how to build a sustainable writing practice.

If you want to write to live, you have to live to write. Writers write, right?

Chapter 23 by James Garside. A regular series of irregular thoughts. Could be anything. Mostly rants. Warning: May contain traces of sarcasm. Chapter 23 is a multimedia project by James Garside. Journalist, Author, Writer. Part-time vagabond, full-time grumpy arse. Would you care for a cup of tea? I write about everything from art, culture, and politics to tech, travel, and the occult. Sometimes in ways that get me into trouble. I’m also funny — I probably should’ve led with that. I help writers and artists to do their best work. Let’s be part of each other’s stories.
