An aspiring writer who takes the craft seriously.

I'm Greg — an avid writer, gamer, and baseball fanatic based in the U.S. I've been running Novelist Notions, my blog about writing, creativity, and personal growth, since 2025. What started as a place to think out loud has grown into a genuine community of readers who are interested in the craft of writing and the life that surrounds it.

My writing sits at the intersection of the practical and the personal. I don't just explain techniques — I explore why they matter, where they come from, and how they connect to our mental and emotional lives. That's what makes my work resonate with readers who are looking for more than just a listicle.

I'm now available to write for publications, brands, and blogs that serve writers, creatives, and lifelong learners. If you need content that's thoughtful, well-researched, and genuinely engaging, I'd love to work together.

Writing Through Brain Fog

Picture this: You’re sitting at your writing desk, an idea in your head, a deadline looming, and your brain and your hands suddenly don’t want to work together. The cursor stares at you, its static blinking mocking you with every passing second. You know it’s not writer’s block because the ideas are there. You can see the outline of ideas, words, and sentences in your mind, but getting from where you are to where you think your piece needs to go seems nearly impossible. This is heavier than writer's block. Think of it as radio static but for your brain. You have the ideas in your head, but the clarity you need to finish a paragraph, or even a simple sentence, feels just out of reach. When discussing writing, you often hear about the idea of a “flow state,” the holy grail of the writing craft. What we don’t discuss enough is the opposite end of this spectrum, when things slow down, when the batteries in your brain run low but your desire to create still burns. How do you bridge that...

The Evolution of the Tortured Artist Myth: Why We Need New Narratives

  Dismantling the Dangerous Romance of Creative Suffering There's a scene that plays out in countless movies, books, and cultural narratives: the brilliant artist, hunched over their work in a dimly lit garret, fueled by anguish, addiction, or mental illness, creating masterpieces from the depths of their suffering. We've romanticized this image so thoroughly that many of us—myself included at various points—have unconsciously bought into the idea that great art requires great suffering, that creativity and mental health are incompatible. I used to think my midnight writing sessions, born from insomnia and anxiety, were somehow more "authentic" because they emerged from struggle. There was a part of me that worried that if I got too mentally healthy, too stable, too content, I might lose whatever creative spark I possessed. It's a seductive narrative: the idea that our pain serves a higher purpose, that our struggles are the price we pay for artistic vision. But t...

The Intersection of Mental Health and Creative Output

When the Mind's Weather Shapes the Words on the Page  Introduction There's a conversation that doesn't happen often enough in creative circles, one that gets whispered about in hushed tones or buried beneath performative productivity posts on social media. It's the uncomfortable truth about the relationship between mental health and creative output—how our emotional landscape directly influences what we create, when we create it, and whether we create at all. As someone who has wrestled with depression, anxiety, and the general chaos that comes with being human, I've learned that my mental health and my writing are not separate entities. They're deeply intertwined, each one influencing the other in ways both profound and subtle. In this piece, I want to pull back the curtain on this relationship. I'll share my own experiences with how mental health has shaped my creative journey, explore the complex dance between suffering and art, and discuss what I've ...
