I've watched Criminal Minds for a long time now. I enjoy the show, but lately have found that the episodes are becoming a bit stale. While I hate it when this happens, long running shows do have this problem. In the beginning,...

DoriLentrich The new season looks promising, especially with the new character. Though, I fear, she may be too much a Dr. Reid character. However, the tension of her having been disgraced before and looking for redemption should make for some interesting twists and turns....

DoriLentrich I hope it went well for you. The pressure is on when you're on the stand and it's increased when you're there for the benefit of someone else. Still, at the end of the day, it's about you and your testimony. Everything else fades away. I really hope your...

I used to knit all of the time - an every spare minute sort of thing because I like to keep my hands busy. Unfortunately, this resulted in carpal tunnel, so now I am being more careful because I don't want to have to have surgery....

DoriLentrich Keeping your hands moving is a wonderful thing. Knitting and crochet are a bit of a double edged sword on that issue though. So much of the work is detail, that your hands seize up, but if you don't keep the joints moving, they do the same thing. Have you...

DoriLentrich Take a deep breath. Being on the witness stand is scary, but it's not life ending. At least you're not the defendant. First and foremost, talk to the attorney who called you (if you aren't being subpoenaed). Ask him/her what you should wear, etc. Don't ask...

DoriLentrich No, it won't get a girlfriend, but it's a good way to start. All the machinations that people do trying to attract others normally end badly. If you don't start with being true to who you are, then what's the point? Relationships are based on compatibility, if...

DoriLentrich I divide my time between both, but I think a lot more people are watching t.v. on the internet. There are so many ways to get television programming online, that it just makes more financial sense. I enjoy the internet, but sometimes I find all the reading and...

I was someone who let the first draft take me where it would. But, now I'm beginning to wonder if plotting might not be the way to go. Everyone's process is different, but I'm finding myself getting a little frustrated with...

DoriLentrich That's a really good system. It keeps you on track without binding you too much. I find that even if I don't write things down, I'm keeping certain turning points in mind, but writing things down is imperative. I've lost so many brilliant (at least I think...

DoriLentrich It can get boring when you outline. You get all excited about the idea and then you realize you're done with it before you've put a word on paper. The actual writing is great motivation to keep going. However, I find outlining can sometimes prevent the dreaded...

DoriLentrich Wow. With mystery stories I'd think plotting ahead of time would be necessary, but I can see how letting the story grow organically would work. For me, I find when I write that way, things appear that I hadn't thought of (themes) and weave into the story in...

I think most of us, humans, have our relationship to Mother Earth all wrong, or at least we live our lives like that. We feel that the earth exists for human pleasure and use. The truth of the matter is Mother Earth is the host...

DoriLentrich Respecting our home is a very important thing, but make no mistake, we are not guests on this planet any more than any other animal. This is our home and we are children of this planet. The Earth is here for our use. Not our destruction, but we eat her...

DoriLentrich Definitely. Go and live your life. Your husband loved you, the living you, the excited you. Go be that person. You will do more honor to his memory that way then worrying about a wedding ring. :) I wish you the best in all things and hope that your life...

DoriLentrich You're husband wouldn't want you to suffer for any reason. Wear the ring if you want to. As I said, he's in your heart and that's the only place it matters. Too often we get caught up in all the symbols that we forget the meaning. Your love for your husband...

It's the unofficial start of summer in the U.S. and I was wondering, do people find it more or less difficult to write in the summer months? I personally find it easier to get thoughts to flow, but harder to commit to the action...

DoriLentrich You must live somewhere where winter isn't harsh. Where I live, we get snow in the winter and being outside writing would probably involve losing a few fingers. So, when summer comes and I can be outside, I want to be. However, if it gets too hot, I'd probably...

DoriLentrich Mother Nature is great inspiration and she is in fine form in the summer. I love the way the sunlight and the sky changes in summer. In winter you really only get a couple of different skies, but in the summer, the sky goes through all sorts of changes.

DoriLentrich There is that part of it. When the days are long and the weather good, the ideas come to you much more easily, I find. And if you're in a position where summer is your vacation time, you have a lot more time to do writing. However, if you're in a position...

DoriLentrich You should do what's right for you. As a widow, you are no longer obligated to wear your wedding ring. If you wished, you could pursue other relationships and possibly even remarry. Your ring is a symbol and it's meaning is only relevant to you. There are...
