So, I used all that great psychoanalytic training I’d gotten and started writing papers for conferences, film journals, psychoanalytic meetings and publications, stuff like that. I really wanted to understand, beefcake aside, why that show got under my skin. Mainly, I just liked watching movies and was still pretty obsessed with Star Trek. So I went back to school at night and got a Masters in Liberal Studies, with an emphasis in film and literature. That happened because I tend to get bored pretty easily and while medicine was challenging, I felt there was something. It wasn’t until my child psychiatry fellowship that I started writing nonfiction, mostly applied psychoanalysis and film. Just wasn’t encouraged much by anyone because I was destined to be a doctor, don’t you know. Other than truly awful epic poetry, I never wrote a lick of fiction in my teens.
