Dave Scott Scribbler

Remember: Writers write!

That’s really it.

There’s no hidden philosophy here and no secret handbook titled The Writer’s Mind. If we were meant to do something else, we’d probably be off doing that instead.

But we’re not.

We’re writers.

Which usually means we’re also a little oddly weird… or weirdly odd.

I’ve never decided which phrasing is more accurate.

My name is Dave Scott Maynard.

After spending many years working in the U.S. Government / Military Simulation industry, I recently retired from that world. These days most of my brain still lives in computer science projects and experiments — old habits are hard to shake — but a good chunk of my time is now devoted to creative work.

This site is where the fiction scribbling happens.

“Dave Scott” is simply the pen name I use for most of my public storytelling adventures. The goal here is simple: write stories, release them into the wild, and see who else out there enjoys the same kinds of strange narrative rabbit holes.

Lately I’ve developed a serious fondness for Flash Fiction — short, fire-away stories that let ideas escape quickly before they wander off and disappear.

I also spend a lot of time writing music for film, television, and games.

If you’re curious about that side of things, you can wander over to davescottmaynard.com where the musical experiments live.

As for projects… there are always too many. Some huge-ungus, some tiny, and thankfully a bunch that actually get finished.

My hope is that this little corner of the internet becomes a place where like-minded creative weirdos can meet up and talk about the strange brain-squishings that eventually turn into stories.

Because in the end, writers write.

And that’s what this place is for.
