Looking for a Davis Square writing nook

Cabin fever season is upon us–there will only be so many nights I can spend in my room during cold weather before I’m clawing at the door. To make matters a bit more complicated, I’m also trying to discipline myself to write at least 4 pages a night, and I’m one of those folks that [...]

Matt Waite says something similar: “The idea is to create new forms of journalism with whatever tools we can, and if they don’t [...]


A tiny introduction

My name is Maria Varmazis. I'm a cub editor/reporter, a writer and a geek, a gamer and a Greek. I live in the greater Boston area and love to wander around America's Grumpiest City, often with a camera in hand. This blog will probably tell you far more about my life than you care to know, but welcome all the same.
