This #ModWrite I’ll be re-reading & editing a creative piece in-progress for submission of some extracts to a journal (hopefully) - and also recharging in the sun with Maggie Nelson’s “On Freedom” ⛅️

Some of my recent #ModWrite days have been dedicated to reading the proofs for my chapter in the below volume ✨

Stoked that my chapter on what I describe as Virginia Woolf’s “transferential voices” is now out and in Open Access in this beautiful volume edited by Adèle Cassigneul & Anne-Marie Smith-Di Biasio ✨

Screenshot of an Instagram story citing a passage of Taylor’s 2004 essay: ‘This ideal of physical self-sufficiency is a byproduct of the rhetoric of economic self-sufficiency. But no one partakes in American capitalism independently; there is no such thing as a “self-made” individual.’

Whereas my recent #ModWrites had been spent either napping or reading Dostoevsky’s Karamazov Brothers in between teaching shifts, today’s #ModWrite is all about emails, Xmas postcards & diary-writing - tidying everything up a bit before going back to a Woolf & Beauvoir piece. With a candle to help ✨
