July 27, 2018 by

  Health writing is about bringing hope to the afflicted. Cancer writing, not so much. One is about the future and the steps to make it better. The other is layered with dread.   One is about improving conditions, about personal bests, about gains; the other is layered with dread.   Health writing brings nutrition, […]

WRITER EVIDENCE IN THE HOUSE OF BOOMERPDX

May 3, 2018 by

    A hard rule among writers: avoid talking about a writing project. So what do writers talk about in writer meetings?   Last night while attending a Willamette Writers meeting I saw writer evidence all over the place across a crowded room.

CANCER VIEW: WEED FROM THE OTHER SIDE

November 26, 2017 by

My cancer view had more weed hope later than sooner with DAG approved brownies. It started with a look for an alternate route for a cure instead of chemo road.   What I found was a log of death in men who’d gone the alternate route instead of chemo, then switched to the hard stuff […]

THERAPEUTIC SWEARING, MEDICAL MARIJUANA, CANCER

July 14, 2017 by

      Swearing, done in the right spirit, communicates so much more than long, drawn out, explanations. Besides, how often do you need the long version?
