Biography

Hi, I'm Brian B Baker. I turned to writing when I was bullied in middle school and throughout my life it's been the one constant thing that's given me comfort when everyone seemed against me. The Bleeding Inkwell is where I talk about what I went through, how I dealt with it then and how I continue to deal with it through prose and poetry. I write Monday, Wednesday and Friday on The Bleeding Inkwell. I share my stories of being bullied to help others and to get me through to a better day. I hope you'll subscribe and share my stories to help other bullied kids.

How Writing was my Savior from Bullies

So, I’ve been going through a few things in my head about why I write, what influ­enced me to write the first time when I was 13, and It all comes from being bul­lied in school. Writ­ing was my escape. I could do things in writ­ing to get away and I didn’t have to worry …

Writing with a Day Job

Wak­ing up each morn­ing I know I’m a writer, but I also know writ­ing doesn’t pay the bills; at least not yet. Wednes­day through Sun­day I wake up, get ready and head to my day job, I also drop my daugh­ter off at day­care. While I’m at work I take notes on ideas, check Face­book and …

In the White Room

Here are Part 1 and Part 2 of this con­tin­u­ing story. * I woke in a white room, sur­rounded by four walls and door cov­ered in red paint, which was incon­spic­u­ously absent of a door­knob. The floor was rough and I’d never felt alone like this, not even when I was thrown in soli­tary for a …

Why Writers Should Keep a Dream Journal

I had a dream last week that I bought a shiny new car. I could smell the inte­rior of the car as well as the feel of the smooth­ness of the ride as it entered the free­way and started a road trip. I know enough about dream imagery to know what the dream meant. A car, …

Decide, Write and Walk the Path

  Last week a friend of mine said she doesn’t have time to do the things she wants to do with her kids, a career and she’s stopped wor­ry­ing about dat­ing.. I see peo­ple who give up on the life they want because they think they can’t have it. They’re wrong, it just takes some work. …

Rancid and Raucous

The drums cut and I feel the pull of the rain. The laugh­ing in my head, the burn­ing of the dead. What is this new­found peace? I can’t gather my head, I fear the pas­sion is ring­ing in the dead. The bells ring and I feel the cacoph­ony of laugh­ter and the screams of the voices …

Writer’s Perception

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of per­cep­tion.” Aldous Hux­ley There are many win­dows, many doors to the cre­ative ways of the genius of writ­ing. Each door opens by its own and each may close when it feels the need. The above quote by Hux­ley has been …
