I went on Strattera three years ago. I was just finishing my first year at Mills and I loved the school and the tribe I formed there. However, I was emotionally and physically exhausted. I had a bad experience with a math class that left me shaken and insecure. An on-campus job I wanted didn't...

I was driving down Highway 5 yesterday and I had a great idea for a book. A book that I really felt I must write. I'm not going to tell you what it is yet, because sometimes great ideas start feeling kind of thin after a week or so and then I have to keep explaining why I'm not writing that great...

You don't catch anything worrying, untangling your line, or brooding on the banks. You have to keep casting. You have to get...

I watch a raven perch on a large green pottery dish I have set out on a stump just at the edge of the woods. I fill the dish for the birds most days with water from one of the rain barrels.

Tomorrow morning I'm driving to San Diego to attend Comic Con International. This will be my 25th straight year there. The first time I was in my mid-20s, my first book had just come out, and I was researching my second, a history of '60s comics. I was also a rabid young comics fan, thrilled at the...

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." - Bill Cosby
Now, this is a quote that caught my attention. As one who is perpetually trying to "please" everyone, contrary to popular belief, it's no wonder I'm not doing anything but...
