Where the hell did that blogger go?
You might have asked yourself this, if there is a you out there reading. I mean, why go through all the work of setting up a blog and website if you’re not gonna post?
Simple: stage fright. I’ve kept notebooks of book reviews for years on and off. I like doing them because they force me to slow down and think about a book after I’ve read it instead of just reaching for the next one like an out of control reading junkie (which I freely admit I am.) The problem is, once I set up the blog, I realized other people might read it!!!! Why that didn’t occur to me before is a mystery. So I began freaking out. My god I’m just going to dribble on and say really boring inane things and I might even start using really big words to prove that I’m intelligent and then I’ll really sound like an idiot with pretensions and no original thoughts, etc., etc., etc.
You get the idea.

i have had a quick look around
your blog

connect with a lot of them
some of writers i love seem to lose
the plot on a personal level
celine and hamsun for example

you have opened up a whole new
intelligent world for me
