edit data

Stella Atrium is a cynical septuagenarian. She has spent a lifetime exploring female characters for real world reactions to obstacles. Often pushed into submissive and non-verbal roles, women really live in a world of networking among aunties, cousins, wives of husbands, convenient friends and neighbors. This rich world is largely unexplored.

“I grew up with all brothers, so I knew about women from stories and from school. What I found at school wasn’t anything like in the stories, so I set out to learn why.”

Ready to Write Again

I caught myself making lists of words again. Is that your writing habit too? Words from novels I’m reading or from the mouths of news commentators, or from the little girl at the ice cream store. “Vanilla is so mundane.”

I’m a list-maker from way back, part of the reason I find teaching satisfying. Teaching is all about lists of students, lists of assignments, lists of who didn’t submit.
