If anyone actually follows my blog, I’M SORRY! I am a terrible, terrible book blogger. I know.
I actually have several books on the “to-write-about” pile, but lack the
inertia or inspiration to write about them.
I have learned several things about myself over the last
several months. As always, I love
reading. I love losing myself to the
characters in my novel. I love marveling
at the use of language to draw me to those characters. But what I do not love is the analysis of
those characters, of that prose, of finding the hidden meaning. I merely want to say: I LOVE THAT BOOK! (or
not, but let’s hope for the former ).
And so this leaves me wondering if I am really, truly a book blogger or if
I’m more of an imposter. With my
profound inability to read as fast as most of you, this thought always lingers
in my mind.
But I still love to write.
And of course, I still love to read.
And for those reasons, I will continue to compose my thoughts for this
blog. However, not being a literature
major, I’ve also starting writing in a field that I am more familiar with:
cancer biology. Here I attempt more
regular posts, to push myself to learn new things and to utilize language in
way that makes science and cancer understandable to all. You can find this blog here.
So if anyone is out there, thank you for your patience. I will get to those books on my
“to-write-about” pile shortly, so stay tuned! And don’t leave me . . . I’m
still here.
