Kathryn Koromilas is the author of Palimpsest: A Novel, published April 2010 by Australian Scholarly Publishing.

Born and raised in Sydney, Kathryn Koromilas is a writer, student, teacher and traveller who spent almost a decade living by the Ionian Sea, near ancient Nikopolis, a region whose history and geography inspired Palimpsest. Her European ‘odyssey’ ended in 2009 when she returned home to her humble, antipodean ‘Ithaca’ to continue to write and study.

How to Win Your Goals

Stoic State of Mind #2

This post is about a Stoic exercise to help you win your goals. There are a number of long-haul project goals that I’ve scheduled for completion in 2023. One of them is to finish writing a long-form book thing: my second novel. 

This novel has been on my list for a few years now and each year I don’t quite get there. I keep writing. I keep adding words to it. But I don’t finis

Thomas Nagel
“Absurdity is one of the most human things about us: a manifestation of our most advanced and interesting characteristics.

Thomas Nagel

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Michael Marshall Smith
“Making something secret makes it too important, elevates it to the point where it runs your life from the shadows. If you hide what's at your core from other people for too long, sooner or later you end up hiding it from yourself and waking up with no idea of who you are.”
Michael Marshall Smith

Alexander McCall Smith
“Isabel had firm views on moral proximity and the obligations it created. WE cannot choose the situations in which we become involved in this life; we are caught up in them whether we like it or not. If one encounters the need for another, because of who one happens to be, or where one happens to find oneself, and one is in a position to help, then one should do so. It was as simple as that. ”
Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

Kathryn Koromilas Geia sou, Maria! That Mozart quote made me smile...I always thought it was madness that makes a genius, but love, yes. Sometimes I guess love is a type of madness.

Looked over your shelves - the Homework for Adults looks like an interesting read...
