Writing resources for curios creatives

Join the hunt and share your insights and stories with the world.

We need your ideas

There’s never been more writing online and yet we’re swimming in subpar content. Your audience deserves more. More insight. More engagement. More of your stories.

But unfortunately, writers face the same challenges:

  • Too few ideas (or too many)

  • Consistency and discipline

  • Perfectionism

  • Self-doubt

That’s why Hunting the Muse exists: to inspire writers toward creative joy.

Take a walk and look at everyone

How many people are arch-necked, stumbling through the streets, faces lit up by their phone screens?

If everyone’s constantly consuming, where are the writers and creators? They’re generating ideas and developing their craft so we can learn from them—and they’re small in number.

My name’s Tom, and my goal with Hunting the Muse is to help writers with the hardest parts of their craft: ideation, editing, strategy, and story.

How? By writing to teach myself about creativity, story, and copywriting from creatives old and new, and hitting publish when I think it will help you also.

  • The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them. The hunt to discover those jewels––that's creative living.

  • Original minds are not distinguished by being the first to see a new thing, but instead by seeing the old, well-known thing, which is over-looked by everyone, as something new.

    Friedrich Nietzsche

  • A person who rarely gets bored, who does not constantly need a favourable external environment to enjoy the moment, has passed the test for achieving a creative life.

  • When we forget to use visualization and imagination, it is like not using our mind.

    Jose Silva

  • Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

    Albert Einstein

  • Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

    Pablo Picasso

  • The person who learns the most in any classroom is the teacher.

    James Clear

  • Successful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worry. They just don’t let these feelings stop them.
