Slow days ahead

Blogging will be slow for the coming few days. Before I head out to make money in the big bad world, let me quote Munro's words that I read in Margaret Atwood's 'Negotiating with the Dead'.

I bought a school notebook and tried to write - did write, pages that started off authoritatively and then went dry, so that I had to tear them out and twist them up in hard punishment and put them in the garbage can. I did this over and over again until I had only the notebook cover left. Then I bought another notebook and started the whole process once more. The same cycle - excitement and despair, exceitement and despair. - Alice Munro, 'Cortes Island' (1994)

Seems Munro knew what blogging is about.
