"after the age of eighteen to continue to sip English literature through a straw, is a habit
that seems to deserve the terms vain and vicious" - Virginia Woolf

A New Blog

It's been several months since I've updated Sips Without Straws, and during that time I was wrestling with deep, existential questions. Why does this blog exist? What is the purpose of it all? At first I enjoyed my hiatus from the blogging world, but it wasn't too long before I started reading blogs again and began to contemplate jumping back into the fray.

My original conception of this space was that it would contain intimate reflections on whatever I had been reading, and therefore wouldn't be of much interest to others. I realize now that I wanted to have one foot in and one foot out of the blogging world. In practice, this balancing act was difficult to achieve, especially when one of the most important functions of blogs is to build connection and community.



So I find that I'd like to start over fresh. I hope that you'll come visit me at Some Little Language. I'll probably be blogging about many of the same things, but hopefully I'll be updating more regularly. I'm also going to relax the restraints about what I CAN blog about, so there will be different kinds of content too. Then after a few months I'll close the door to this space. If you've been reading, thanks. I really appreciate it.

And for the record, those existential questions are unresolved. If I ever do figure them out, I will share the answers on Some Little Language. ¡Hasta Luego!
