a writer's journey
Branáin Consulting is a continuation of my journey as a professional writer, the one that I started when I picked up a pencil and wrote my first letter as a child. I don’t remember which particular letter it was anymore. I doubt I paid much attention to it at the time, not with the tremendous possibilities of those funny marks on the page suddenly revealed to me.
I’m sure that I’ve used that letter countless times, sprinkling it liberally throughout the essays and short stories that I wrote in college. Letting it run rampant in the scientific articles and textbook chapters, the newsletters and website copy. Even the multi-million dollar grant applications I worked on enjoyed the delicate adornment of that first letter.
Beyond that, past the walls of the publishing houses and stoic universities that I worked at for so long, I still call on that letter–and all its friends–to fill my pages with words and sentences that are both interesting and informative. One without the other won’t do. The letters know that, and they keep me focused on my task of writing for others.

Branáin (pronounced BRAN-an), Gaelic for “little raven” (also the original source for the surname Brennan), highlights the creative and playful aspects of writing. While most people are familiar with ravens from Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, The Raven, and those kept in the Tower of London, in Native American mythology this highly intelligent bird has a less ominous meaning as a powerful mythical creature.
The raven’s adventures are portrayed in Native American stories such as Raven and the First Men, Raven Creates the World, and Raven Steals the Sun. In these, Raven is both a creator and trickster, with many of the legends also showing Raven as a provider to humans. Raven is associated with endless curiosity, creativity, and playful mischievousness.
These traits carry over well into writing, where playfulness and creativity encourage you to step off the predictable–and comfortable–path in search of unique and beautiful ways to express your ideas.
