September 5, 2012. John Lithgow’s plaintive question, broadcast over a ham radio, from Lawrence, KS, in “The Day After.” Pan to deserted houses, kitchens where the only evidence of life is in food preparations abandoned on the counter. Now pan to the present day, a writer, staring at her computer screen, typing words that will drift across cyberspace, hoping someday, somewhere somebody out there will read them. A bit of a stretch, yes? But don’t cry for the unread writer. Even though she has to...Order W...

Born at the end of the world

Born at the end of the world. November 19, 2012. If you’re reading this December 22, I guess it’s safe to say the doomsayers were wrong. Again. Fortunately, they’ve been wrong all my life, so far.

Or, if you’re a 6-year-old, a physical one. Do you believe the end is nigh and if so, how do you cope? The Zen of Writing.

First person singular — a Q&A with myself. January 30, 2013. Do you write with pen and paper or on the computer? I usually start out writing by hand notes, partial stories, research, etc. Then I transfer what I have to the computer, changing and editing as I go. With second and subsequent drafts and revisions, I’m almost 100 percent on the keyboard. Do you have a specific time and place to writer? What are your specific goals?
