Such busy weeks these last few have been. I've been busy wrangling contract details with a magazine, rewriting the first three chapters of my novel, saving my marriage, saving the world, dealing with drama, ticking, forgetting stuff, and being thoroughly distracted that I haven't blogged much. Twitter has taken up the full brunt of my creative output. That's a bit sad, isn't it?As I finish reviewing some manuscripts for a writer's conference ( WIFYR) I'm attending all next week, I thought I'd share with you a photo from my new favorite place. Sitting on that log I happily played my pennywhistle above the roar of the river beyond that fence. What a truly peaceful moment. I hope to visit it a...

There are numerous reasons, too many to list here. Life is like that sometimes. Grant deadlines come and go, manuscripts need to be written, patients need to be cared for, and of course my family needs me as well.Sometimes, I think, people need to be reminded why we do what we do. Please watch this video. This is why I do what I do.Related Posts:The Joy Of...Ben's TaleOne of My Patients Is FamousAnother Patient Makes News!

I want to thank everyone who has ever read my blog, whether you just stopped by once or twice, or you are a subscriber. A blog is nothing without readers.Honestly, I’m amazed at what has happened over the past year. I’m not sure I knew what would happen that day I sat down to make my first post. Certainly, I had no idea that I would have made 79 posts the first year and would have almost 100 people subscribing to my RSS feed! Even more exciting, though, are the connections I’ve made as a result of this blog. Some connections have been short-lived – a patient or parent calling or emailing and asking for advice. But some have developed into real friendships or have strengthened bonds with patients and their families (and I thi...

As Scientific American reports: Self-medication may be the reason the blogosphere has taken off. Scientists (and writers) have long known about the therapeutic benefits of writing about personal experiences, thoughts and feelings. But besides serving as a stress-coping mechanism, expressive writing produces many physiological benefits. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients, and even speeds healing after surgery. A study in the February issue of the Oncologist reports that cancer patients who engaged in expressive writing just before treatment felt markedly better, mentally and physically, as compared with patients who did no...

If you haven’t seen this site, I highly recommend it. People send in anonymous postcards, often hand-made or otherwise personalized, containing a secret about themselves. They are sometimes funny, sometimes, sad, often incredibly powerful. This past Sunday, someone sent in this one: Photo CreditI love it because it completely captures the spirit of NOT allowing a serious illness, like cancer, to control the patient’s life. I hope it helps us all to remember that people with an illness are just that – PEOPLE. We are not defined by our illness. We are defined by who we are.

And when I AM online, I've been getting a little obsessed with a new social networking community called SocialSpark.I'm still learning my way around, but have met some really nice people, and have even made a little money...yes, that's the twist. This is a gathering place just for bloggers, and for advertisers. Many of you may be familiar with sites that offer to pay you to advertise on your blog.

Neither did I until I discovered Twitter.I have been an old fogey when it came to the social networking space. I have tried out MySpace but it really had no appeal to me. Nobody I knew used it, and the only people who contacted me where sleazy women trying to sell me pharmaceuticals. I have a Facebook page, too. It is a lot quieter than MySpace, but before my recent experiment it seemed just as pointless. Why would I want to worry about managing virtual friends and maintaining a separate email database? I already had a Flickr account with it’s posting and commenting responsibilities. Besides, I had a website with my own domain which I failed to maintain on a regular basis. Who has time for all that?

My weekend had been hard. I recorded and produced an album for nine hours on that Saturday, then began ticking early the next day. The ticking lasted for over thirty six hours. In addition to that, my hard drive had burped and lost 195 gigabytes of data a few days before. No utilities I ran could resurrect the data. It was gone. A weekend of deep digging yielded no results. Bad Block City had rezoned my drive. With the last attempt a colossal failure, I could officially sink into blackness. Depression was settling in. Not just because I lost data, but because I was drained and lac...

Fritz Bogott is a friend from our days in St. Paul who always impressed me with his intelligence, generousity, sense of humor and creativity. A generally quiet man, he also has great taste in loud music. Sure, it was cool to watch Jonathan Coulton produce a Thing a Week (check him out if you haven’t yet), but Fritz is launching a project to write a novel each month. Starting June 1, I will write a novel a month for a year and blog about the experience, with able assistance from illustrator and animator Mozhi.
