Welcome! Thanks for visiting. Do you like to write? Do you like to draw? You’re in the right place and you’re on the right page (in every sense).
This website emerges out of a hope that we, as scribble-minded sentinels of critical and creative thinking, can engage in daily acts of resistance by picking up a pen (or pencil or crayon or paintbrush, etc.) and sketching out our reactions to the beautiful world we live in, the tumultuous times we live through, and the brilliant things that we know ourselves and others to be. Through poems, doodles, journal activities, workshops, and editorial consultation, Stephen hopes to give YOU the tools you need in order to make reflection and creation bigger parts of your life away from the screen.
Sure, our digital environments can be great. The internet can connect us to ideas, experiences, and people around the world. Heck, the digital is how we’re connecting across space and time as you read this sentence now! But our increasing temptation to rely on or escape into the internet and digital technologies (…including AI) obviously put our uniquely human cognitive and creative powers at risk.
This site is (hopefully) a resource for both connecting with Stephen AND for accessing resources that might help us all build and sustain habits for putting our brains on paper, for scrawling instead of scrolling, and for allowing ourselves to discover and hone our creativity.
Together, let’s draw the line..
