About Me
- Steven Barnes
- For the last thirty years or so I’ve been a lecturer, coach, novelist and television writer. For the last forty years I’ve been involved variously in the martial arts, and for all my life I’ve studied and enjoyed yoga. Not that I worked at it as hard and honestly as I should have—I’d be a combination of BKS Iyengar and Bruce Lee if I had. After publishing about three million words of science fiction (including the New York Times bestsellers The Legacy of Heorot and The Cestus Deception) and having about twenty hours of produced television shows (including The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Andromeda, and Stargate, as well as four episodes of the immortal Baywatch), I’ve got opinions on the writing life. After earning black belts in Judo and Karate, and practicing the Indonesian art of Pentjak Silat Serak for the last fifteen, well, I have some opinions there, as well. And having struggled to live consciously since childhood...well, those opinions are probably strongest of all.

Hey, really glad that you posted about this. I've had a very similar situation (a slightly bum leg due to a strained IT/LCL sorta area, just on the right rather than left), and a lot of stress that I'd just loooove to let bleed into a workout. Hearing this reminded me to be safe and smart about my joints.
Hate it that you wound up as a cautionary tale, but thanks for sharing, and I hope it heals up cleanly for you. Have you seen a physician, by the way, with it having nagged at you for that long? (I ask, even knowing that as male and a martial artist myself, I'm loathe to do it, or take the pills)
