About Me:
I write... novels, stories, poems at night; during the day, I pen fascinating science and medical articles in passive voice.

A nerve on fire...

The mind intrigues me, especially the neuroscience of it... how one small imbalance in dopamine say, or serotonin, can throw a body off kilter... in such a dramatic way.

That's what I write about...

Windmills and Poetry

Posted on April 16, 2009 at 1:58pm 3 Comments



For some reason, windmills tinge my mood with melancholic nostalgia. Not sure why - I'm not Dutch - but seeing these strong yet graceful structures flail at the air reassures me. Perhaps it's that windmills turn something invisible - the air - and transforms it into power that intrigues me. We visited Williamsburg on the way home and this mill was my first glimpse… Continue

Serendipity

Posted on March 26, 2009 at 10:09pm 1 Comment

Traveled home from Philly on Amtrak late yesterday afternoon. The train's packed, the quiet car full, and I trudged through three cars before I found a seat. The woman by the window had her laptop out, jacket and bags strewn on the seat I wanted to make mine. I felt badly asking her to move her stuff, but damn if at fifty bucks I was going to stand in my Italian leather… Continue

March Debut Novel Pick - STILL ALICE

Posted on March 16, 2009 at 9:29pm 2 Comments



Even then, more than a year earlier, there were neurons in her head, not far from her ears, that were being strangled to death, too quietly for her to hear them. Some would argue that things were going so insidiously wrong that the neurons themselves initiated events that would lead to their own destruction. Whether it was molecular murder or cellular… Continue

Swan Song (Winter Adieu)

Posted on March 8, 2009 at 8:50pm 8 Comments

Today, on the Southern shore of Maryland, we traipsed through woods and found a mother swan settled on her nest.



One portent of Spring. Another is the dirt cracking in the garden, the plants and rocks shoving up through the once-frozen soil. And yet another is the rhubarb, blood-red globules poking through last year's leaves blackened with rot. Pussy willow fuzzies… Continue

10,000 Hours...

Posted on March 2, 2009 at 9:55pm 9 Comments

This is how long it takes to become "good" at something.



10,000 hours. This is one of the statistics buried in OUTLIERS, Malcolm Gladwell's treatise on success.



That's 600,000 minutes. Since there are 525,600 minutes a year, I figure if I write non-stop for a year with no sleeping, eating, or potty breaks, I'll be a "good' though exhausted writer.



Just thought you'd like to know... maybe by then the market will have improved as much as… Continue

Be sure to share, OK? Seems you've got reasons to be celebratory, award-contender and showcased not-a-lady writer! ~ Absolutely*Kate

Thankin' you most kindly, Ms treasured Linda . . .
As usual, right you succinctly are, in knowing what a fresh tabula rasa does for the rejuvenation. I've done my grace and honour and thanks to writers' voices which are as you say and I sense in the posting of *GOOD AUTUMNAL WEEKENDING* ~ may it grace Your Writer's Voice dear intuiter, as you do with words to greet your own worlds ... perennially, in full bud and glory of harvest.

Fair winds, favourable seas . . . always.
Your peace? Priceless. ~ Absolutely*Kate

Hi Linda, Thanks for the compliments. I've read a few of your pieces and really like them, and notice we both have an interest in neuroscience and gardening, I believe? Great photos, and better writing.

Greetings! I'm sorry about your mommy-oh. El sucko to be sick. Best wishes with your project!
