Robin Marantz Henig commented on the group 'Mother Writer!'
"Victoria -- I read your Modern Love column and loved it. My daughter's friend posted it on her Facebook page -- her 68-year-old mother died last month, and my daughter's friend (who's 30) called your piece a three-hanky essay. You are…"

"UNDERSTANDING THE ANXIOUS MIND
Fantastic article Robin! There were so many wonderful sections, and everytime I thought, but what about..? you answered my question in the next paragraph. Thinking of physics (as is my wont)-- Schrodinger's Cat…"

"Look at you, beautiful one, with a glamour shot from Tokyo and a list of all these impressive magazines publishing you! And you sure as hell DO offer services to other writers -- you feed their souls. Can't wait to see you in the flesh."

"Thanks so much for letting me know that about Writing Past Dark! It made me feel so good. I've thought so much about the topic of writers and envy, and also about ways that writers unconsciously subvert themselves. When I'm done with the…"
Robin Marantz Henig commented on the group 'midlife musings'
"I host an occasional writers group in my apartment where we talk about subjects that apply to writing, and very often the topic of the month is about feeling like a fraud. I agree with you, Amy, that it's a very common sentiment in writers, and…"
Robin Marantz Henig commented on the group 'midlife musings'
"I didn't mean to sound churlish in my reply to Lydia -- it just worries me that a 32-year-old can think that a lot of life is behind her, when there's so much still ahead.
Midlife to me is nice, but it's also about that…"
Robin Marantz Henig commented on the group 'midlife musings'
"Does 32 count as midlife? Well, from the vantage point of 55, it sure doesn't! (Even a 55-year-old who had the temerity, when she was even younger than you, to write a book called How a Woman Ages, as if she had a clue.)
Maybe what you're…"

Fantastic article Robin! There were so many wonderful sections, and everytime I thought, but what about..? you answered my question in the next paragraph. Thinking of physics (as is my wont)-- Schrodinger's Cat and the uncertaintly principle--I wondered about what effect the experiments themselves were having on the high-reactives (when I was a child we were just called "sensitive" or rather, "too sensitive") so I was very interested in what Robert Plomin had to say. I especially loved your ending. I'm sure most writers (and third children) are "high reactives" and I am always intrigued by the strange ways I come up with to circumnavigate my hypochondria, agoraphobia, etc. etc. but mostly I deal with it by getting lost in an imaginary world that is not exactly my own--art. Brava.

When I'm done with the novel I'm working on -- which I dearly hope is soon!!!! -- I plan to write more on that topic. What are you working on now? Isn't the salon great? -- B .

I witnessed the sun rise over Harlem. Harlem NYC.How different it is to wake up here than in Raleigh. No birds singing. No birds in sight. No grass, few trees. No greenery to be seen. But I have found a LOVE for it. I walked down Lenox Avenue, 125th…See More
