Hey #bookstodon #litodons it's been a while since Ive been here

Im stumped at writing. When I write a story, I am good at dialogue, but the details of the environment, the backdrop, everything all seems like a blank space. I have basic words: table, painting, chair.

Any advice what to read? Any #writing advice?

@bookstodon

moving books around in my study to make room for 3 that have been lying horizontally for months, I discovered that my copy of George Eliot’s Romola is. . . missing? That I must have lent it to someone, and they must not have returned it??? Both these inevitabilities appear improbable beyond belief. (I love Romola. I love its dialogue with James’s Golden Bowl. I love its detailed anatomy of self-regard extending well beyond survival. I didn’t think anyone agreed.) #nineteenthcentury #litodons

I missed this whole twitter debate on how literature professors dislike literature?

Well I do teach and study literature sometimes, so feel a need to opine lol.

I love literature! I enjoy reading books! I think the most interesting works are to study are not necessarily the ones I most enjoy reading, though. Sometimes, yes. But sometimes I get a lot out of studying works that trouble me in some way.

Hey, @academicchatter since I don’t have a campus office these days, I’ve been missing my white board #Kanban board for tracking projects.
Tell me about the apps or digital tools you use for Kanban and visualizing the workflow of #scholarly #writing projects. What’s working for you?
