Verbalis Neurotica

Who’s running the store around here?

My name is Paul Raworth Bennett, and I’m a creative writer, ardent wordsmith, and oddball humorist.  I’m also a cycling and outdoors enthusiast, a proud father, a fortunate friend, and a lucky survivor of youthful tomfoolery!

I use words to sculpt thoughts and emotions, and I just love that the pen can be mightier than the sword and that a word can be worth a thousand pictures!

But “writer” is only one of my personae. Another is career marketing consultant (i.e. seasoned résumé specialist, personal branding enthusiast, and all-around client champion); for more information, do visit my LinkedIn profile and my business web page!

So what’s this blog all about?  I’ll be publishing poetry and other short fiction and reflections (mine, others’, and maybe even yours, too!) on writing, creativity, the spirit, the mind, personal growth, relationships, and various other erratica.

This won’t be a flashy blog.  No bells, whistles, smoke, or mirrors.  Just flocks of words – hopefully, flying in some sort of formation – with the occasional picture fluttering along.  Just my quirky, searching mind and my naked, weathered soul, reaching out to you. Hopefully you’ll be entertained, enlightened, and even inspired!

So come and play in my sandbox!  Bring your buckets and bulldozers!  Challenge and correct me!  Amuse and annoy me!  Rebuke and report me!  Heave those bricks, and toss those roses!  In any event, thank you for visiting my virtual home.

Happy trails, and see you again soon.
