Hot White Snow is my creative writing page, where I post articles, poems, writing responses, and other bits that don’t fit the Science Traveling, Tesla, Edison, Lincoln theme of this site. With the labor day weekend here, it’s time to catch up on creativity. The following are three articles posted on Hot White Snow in recent weeks. Follow the links to the full articles.
This poem (yes, a poem) was a big departure for me.

I’m writing this to take a break from throwing out my life. For more than three decades I worked as a scientist, mostly for various consulting firms in New Jersey and Washington, D.C.

That part has moved on; it’s the writing life for me.

Who says Nikola Tesla isn’t cool. (Actually, no one says that)
