About Me — Scout Dawson

Horror author, a writer about writing, and I also have a crazy plan to live in a van, but that’s a tale for another time. — If there’s one thing I like to do, it’s write. If there’s one thing I like to do even more, it’s write about writing. Speaking of writing, my debut Gothic horror story DEAR ANNABELLE is available on Kindle. As for writing about all that good stuff, check the latest articles below.

Why write daily on Medium? Because most of your posts will fail

Realising this has made me write more, and worry less — In the last three months, I have made just a little under $800 on Medium. Prior to that I would say I earned less than $50 in the year-and-a-bit that I have been writing on here. It may sound fairly impressive, but most of that money has come from two…

I hate pit bulls, actually

Why ‘pit nutters’ are ruining dog ownership for the rest of us — From the ‘nanny dog’ myth to the careful lies owners and shelters tell about this controversial breed, I’m here to say — I hate pit bulls, and I’ve decided that I can’t stay quiet about it anymore.

Fake Society — What happened to being neighbourly?

Pretending you’re phobic of humans but aggressively accepting of them at the same time isn’t working anymore — For almost three weeks, I’ve had to live with a broken washer-dryer machine. Not the end of the world, but a big inconvenience when you’ve got a bad back that doesn’t like it when you have to repeatedly lean over the bath, scrubbing your unmentionables. Thankfully, the man is coming…

‘Stop Undercharging’ is the WORST Advice for Freelancers

It’s a remarkable privilege to be able to charge the earth — “Stop undercharging for your work” is a very common reprimand I hear from freelancers all over social media. Whether it’s art, writing, or another service like editing, proofreading or whatever — those of us who don’t charge the world are often scowled at by those who do, under the impression…

Well What Do You Know, People Really ARE Sheep

We are all just lemmings boinging from wall to wall — Do you remember being a kid, and you’d ask your mom or dad if you could do or have something, but they said no? And you attempted to sway them by telling them your friend Timmy had/did it, or something? So your mother said those famous words we’ve all heard: …

I Miss NOT Talking About Politics

Where O Where Has Our Personality Gone? — I want to start with pointing out my own hypocrisy. I talk about politics on this account. Very occasionally I get drawn into political discourse on Twitter. But that doesn’t mean I like it. I try to keep my political talks to specific moments instead of blanketing myself in its…

An Open Letter to Middle Management

This isn’t working, but I think you know that — This post was written about five months ago, before I started my new job — which I am thriving in, being praised (almost daily) in, and have been trusted with many, many complex and interesting pieces of work.
