About me
Jan 18th, 2010 by Danuta Hinc
I am a writer and a faculty member at University of Maryland, College Park where I teach Professional Writing. My first novel — To Kill the Other — was published March 1, 2011 by Tate Publishing.
The Baltimore Sun recently published a review of To Kill the Other.
I was born and raised near Gdansk, Poland. My sister and I lived with our parents and my mother’s parents in a single family house in Goscicino, in the Pomerania Region. I went to high school in Wejherowo, a small city established in the 17th century by King Wladyslaw IV Vasa of Poland. In January 1991, I graduated from Gdansk University with a Master’s in Philology and emigrated to the United States in December the same year.
I have never been able to keep a journal. The concept of talking to myself has never been appealing to me. In my understanding, the missing component in journaling is communication with another person. For me life is rich and exciting only if we can share it with someone else. This is how I understand meaningful and conscious living.
This blog, initiated in January 2010, is an attempt to share my thoughts and dialog with others about books, movies, teaching, history, music, the world, and the writing life. It is my sincere hope that you will join me in this dialog.

Thank you Danuta. I love your website! Dan did a really good job setting it up, but it is the words that fill it that make it something special. I really enjoyed the section on spirituality.
I would love it if you added a stumbleupon so that I can share it with friends.

Ian,
I am not sure how to add stumbleupon.
Give me some time to figure it out and in the meantime
please, feel free to share my blog with your friends.
Danuta! The picture on your blog page reminds me of Stratford in England… Beautiful blog.
Thank you, Laura!
Siostrzyczko, jestem z Ciebie bardzo dumna
Kocham Ciebie BARDZO !!!
Twoja mala:) Siostrzyczka.
Danuta, your blog is wonderful. Can’t wait for your novel to come out. You are truly an inspiring person. 911 was a shock to us all and the questions you ask are the same ones most of us asked. We can never understand who would do these things. I even rescue and release bugs, so I can’t imagine intentionally killing innocent people. I will be anxious to read what you have written.

Dear Danuta,
It is really inspiring and pleasant to read your blog! Very nourishing indeed. Thank you so much for opening your heart widely.
Dear Heather,
My writing and opening exists only with your reading and accepting–we are in it together.
Thank you for being here for me.
Danuta, your blog is wonderful. Looking forward to read your novel.
My first novel — Where the Willow Grows in Transylvania — will be published also by Tate Publishing. I was born and raised in Transylvania, Romania. I think we have a lot to share. Many blessings to you!

Yes, I checked your site–your novel sounds very interesting. Looking forward to reading it. You are the first person from Transylvania in my life. Much to learn!
