With more than a decade of writing and over 2,000 posts, Murdockinations is a wide and varied archive. If you’re new here or looking for a starting point, this page highlights the kinds of writing that define this blog.
Below are some core themes explored across the years. Each section reflects a part of what Murdockinations has always been: thoughtful, curious, creative, critical, and occasionally irreverent.
Writing & Storytelling
Reflections on craft, imagination, discipline, and the lifelong process of developing a writer’s voice. Posts in this theme explore what storytelling means—on the page, behind the camera, and in the world.
Filmmaking & Creative Work
Insights drawn from filmmaking projects, production experience, screenwriting, and the creative journey. These pieces look at technique, theory, production challenges, and the artistic process.
Politics & Society
Long-form commentary on culture, democracy, leadership, media, and the shifting political climate. These essays aim not just to react to events but to understand their consequences and connections.
Culture, History & Philosophy
Explorations of how we think, what we believe, why societies behave as they do, and how history repeats in familiar patterns. Sometimes reflective, sometimes sharp, sometimes humorous.
Personal Observations & Miscellany
Pieces that don’t fit neatly into categories but speak to the randomness and richness of life. Insights, questions, memories, and the things that make us stop and think.
This page will evolve over time, but its purpose remains simple:
to highlight the themes that best represent what Murdockinations is about.
