I tend to go away and do something else for a while. I might then go back and read what I had already written and that might get me going again.

This might be more from my subconscious than I care to admit but I feel like I can tie a lot of the story to my experience in healthcare. It only takes a few statements and then the reader can make the rest of the links. First, the crucible is the environment of US healthcare as it pertains to government, Medicare/Medicaid, etc. Second, Rome would be analogous to the healthcare organization in which I have worked for years. Third, the love for Myridia is the doctor-patient relationship, and fourth, whips and rods and moving of a pile of rocks from one place to another each day is the constant requirement of forms and documentation every single day. You do the rest!

In college I took an upper level writing class and my professor was very encouraging. In fact, he told me that I could probably get a short essay that I wrote published in the right magazine if I tried. In the end, life moved on and I lost the essay somewhere, but I never forgot the encouragement and inspiration.

Do your homework. Know your subject backwards and forwards.

When I am writing, my imagination is free. I can be anything or anyone I want to be. I can be brilliant or powerful or weak and timid. I can be the wind or that crinkling feeling in your nose when it's cold outside.
