Previously, my subtitle read: "On writing and not writing," but I've decided to refocus my blog for the new year. After all, why write about not writing?
Did I have writer's block? Yes, it's true: I have chronic writer's block, but I'm thinking blogging is a cure for that. My original subtitle was inspired by Marion Milner's On Not Being Able to Paint , which had informed, in a major way, my MA thesis on Virginia Woolf and Carmen Laforet, and the in which ways writers work through (or not) their first novel, and how the success or failure of that "working through" allows them to go on and continue to write, or impedes any further production.
So, since I have so many interests that go beyond my academic projects, I thought I'd try working them out through this blog. And who knows? Perhaps after 365 days of blogging, I'll have a book.
