Also "bum-bum"s and fannies. Ella thinks "wanna see my butt?" is a funny response to almost any question or comment.Scrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922358016805022637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127653.post-1118589825951330632005-06-12T11:23:00.000-04:002005-06-12T11:23:00.000-04:00I think I prefer "dreamy, inefficient, tentative, ...I think I prefer "dreamy, inefficient, tentative, and sporadic," even if I acknowledge that it's less productive.<BR/><BR/>OK, keep writing <I>for publication</I>, huh? Well, then, you'll need to link to publication that's available online or post citations for your stuff, or how am I supposed to make sure you keep at it? ;)<BR/><BR/>I do understand that skepticism about blogging, though I don't fully share it. I began blogging, as much as anything, as a strategy for dealing with writer's block, and it's certainly helped me to feel more comfortablle again writing, but then again, it hasn't translated into successful academic writing as well as I'd hoped it would.<BR/><BR/>I think the idea of using this space to work out ideas is a good one. I've been hoping to set up a dissertation blog and do something similar, though with only minimal success thus far. My only reservation is that I wouldn't want to miss out entirely on the parenting commentaries and poop jokes and that side of what you use this space for. Maybe you could still post some of those occasionally too?<BR/><BR/>One thing I like about blog spaces is that there is no need to have a consistent voice, tone, or argument running through them--you can do some serious, intellectual post followed immediately by a post about poop or fart jokes followed by an observation of quotidian details followed by one of those dumb quizzes that go around or a meme.Scrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922358016805022637noreply@blogger.com
