OUTSIDE THE LINES

A storyteller’s imagination is grown on a diet of imperfections and all the bits “outside the lines”. Essentially, all the details that people take for granted.‌

The irony is, life is made up of tiny little details – and the most impactful stories weave these unconventional details together to create a bigger and more vivid picture.

Read all about the “small stuff” (which is actually the “big stuff”) in Neely’s journal entries.

Likely to contain uncomfortable truths, candid opinions, and a strong measure of literary whimsy.

Isaac Newton Never Had Sex

Step into my world of journal entries. Or better, step outside the box if you will. I had warned you that this blog would contain some uncomfortable truths – as well as insights and opinions that you might dislike me for.

But better a reaction than no reaction at all, right? After all, this is what makes good writing, and stories that actually stick.

Today’s entry (my first entry – eeep!) is about insanity.

Some of us wear insanity like pearls to adorn our creativity. Some of us run away from it, as though it’s a black dog chasing us in the middle of the street.

Either way, most creatives have it in some capacity. And I believe that insanity actually makes us more intelligent, innovative, and brave. In fact, all my favourite stories (including the ones written by myself) are about two sentences away from falling off the edge. Perhaps insanity is our greatest weapon.
