Welcome to WordsnThings.com

My name is Marijke Vroomen Durning and I am a writer. Welcome to my site. Although my main focus has been on medical and health writing, I am branching out into other areas and am enjoying the challenge.

Please check in once in a while to see what I've been up to and what writing has been going on. I'll be adding interesting tidbits on writing and life as a freelance writer.

I invite you to check out my blog, Marijke: Nurse Turned Writer. There I discuss health-related topics that are in the news or other topics that I find interesting on any particular day. It's updated almost daily.

Pour yourself the beverage of your choice and have a poke around. 

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at

My Name

If you aren't sure about how to say my name, don't worry - you're not the first to wonder. It’s a Dutch name. Phonetically, my name is said muh-rye´-kah/keh. If you can roll the "r", all the better.
