Patrick Kirkland

By Derek Ruth · January 31, 2011

Patrick wishes he was good at something else. He’s tried accounting, spent time admiring park chess players, and even thought about being a pro homeless guy, but he’s succumbed to the fact that he’s really only good at making stuff up. From 9-5, he’s a branding and advertising writer, and moonlights as a screenwriter, playwright, and fiction guy. He heads up his own writer’s blog, givemebackmypen, painfully trying to inspire artists to quit screwing around and do something. He lives in New York with his wife, pit bull, and shih tzu.
