I will write no matter what, even if it's not good. The point is to always write. Every professional, and every committed writer I know writes and does not wait for the so-called muse to strike. Putting down words is the point. That's why we revise our work, over and over again. That said, yes, there are times I might hit a wall not know what to write. I take a walk, read something else, and jump right back in.(less)

After former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords survived as assassination attempt in 2011, I became interested in how people recover from traumatic brain injuries. (TBI) I began researching brain injuries and spent time visiting a place called the Brain Injury Clubhouse in Chicago to learn how people who lost a part of themselves struggled to become who they once were. Many also had personal and legal troubles, some of them had become violent and faced criminal charges.

During the course of my research, I came across stories about the intersection of law and neuroscience and the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience, which had been examining how neuroscience is being used or misused in the courtroom. As soon as I started poking around in this area, I was hooked. I had found a subject that melded my interests in the criminal justice system, science and human behavior.
