About Patrita

I am a scientist, not a writer. I've only published scientific papers. However, journaling and observing people's behaviour has been part of my life since the moment I learned how to write. A diary is the first Christmas gift I have a memory of. The same for reading: it was always one of my favourite things to do. Recently I started to take writing more seriously and I put into words many people I had encountered until that very moment. Since then, I've been trying to write more regularly and I started to feel that I needed guidance. I would love to have some feedback about my pieces of writing and some suggestions about what to do with them, since, for the moment, they only serve the purpose of calming me down. I am not an English native speaker but I am enjoying the process of using English for other than scientific writing!


Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
