We are the Southern Writers’ Guild: a deliberate assembly of stubborn scribes—poets, novelists, essayists, playwrights, songwriters—who stake our claim on this tangled South, by blood or by choice or by some inexplicable pull that won’t let go.
The Elder Sage will guide you to meet life as it is, with a calm mind and a clear intellect. Grounded in ancient wisdom, learn to observe your thoughts, dissolve your ego, steady your emotions, and remain composed, no matter what's happening.
Hey there! I'm Rick West, and I write about transitions large and small, becoming a free-range human, laughing out loud. On this channel find short stories, poetry, essays, life musings, and an occasional original music video.

We write songs. We make records. Chip makes martinis. Somewhere along the way, the label developed a drinks habit.
Welcome to Good Boy Records - the label that barks with soul.
