week #1
oops doing this late but figure its better than not at all. i just got the internet at my apartment yesterday after not having it for the past six months or so.. ah i just feel pretty weird about the whole blog thing personally. it has a feeling of vulnerability for me. throughout the years of many abandoned journals/diaries/whatever i've kept i always wrote with the awareness/fear that someone would read it, altering my ability to really "let go" - which i kind of get a reverse sensation of that here because i know this is going to be displayed for people to read, also it is the internet so it could expand beyond this class presumably and that is always kind of weird. i'd rather just post images to explain myself. mmmm mm m m . tomorrow is class, also glad it is at 10 rather than 9am. i am drinking some beet juice right now. enjoyed class last week pretty well, the free write was a nice way to start things off and the snacks were much appreciated. wish it had rained more last night/today. okay, see y'all tomorrow.

What a face! What a story in this image. I'm interested to know if/how photos play into your process at all as you write into her. I'm wondering if you've considered a space for images in your work?
ReplyDeleteI can understand and also resonate with your sense of being overly visible in a blog like this. Also, this space doesn't demand that you "let go," but rather invites you to perhaps let us in, a bit, in regards to what the process of the writing your thesis is like. How you're approaching it. Strategies and ideas you're developing and wrestling with. While the very work of the work is solitary in nature in most ways this space gives us an opportunity to connect on the common and different ways in which we experience that work and can offer surprising opportunities to delve even deeper into your own practice and offer insights that will impact others' practices.
Also, as far as I know, this blog is private to the world - no one else can see it beyond those of us in the class. Elmaz if I've got this wrong please do correct me.
Also, awesome that you've introduced photos into this blogosphere! Opens the possibilities of the kinds of resources/things that can be shared in this space.
ReplyDeleteExcited!
I totally level with the idea of vulnerability with these blog posts, and I think the trick is to not think of vulnerability as a bad thing. I know especially with your project, from what you've shared, you've already opened up something private/kept to yourself. There's of course a weirdness attached to it regardless, but I think it's also helpful to put yourself out there. I should stop here because I'm feeling a motivational speech coming.
ReplyDeleteP.S. That photo is wonderful in so many ways.
