I know what you mean about wondering if you should experiment. Thesis writing has made me consider the benefits of intellectual language (and the respect it garners) however in the end I will always prefer story telling. It's my "breaststroke." :)This Brazen Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924652859389870978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206373238418288113.post-52626483287646229742012-04-26T23:12:00.433+01:002012-04-26T23:12:00.433+01:00Hi Brazen,

I often think about your own more anecdotal (and I mean that in the most complementary way) approach and wonder if I should experiment with something similar. I don't really see myself as much of a storyteller but maybe it's just like I am with swimming: I've become so familiar with breaststroke that whenever I try anything else I'm useless in comparison and this is a huge disincentive. Perhaps I just need a time in a pool unobserved by the lifeguard.Jim Hamlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488331333061422244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206373238418288113.post-52326394627498443942012-04-26T20:39:02.795+01:002012-04-26T20:39:02.795+01:00Posted with the wrong google account there. rborre...Posted with the wrong google account there. rborrelli is also Brazen :)rborrellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12827358876671315758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206373238418288113.post-77083161990384803172012-04-26T20:37:59.180+01:002012-04-26T20:37:59.180+01:00Reading philosophy and journal publications in gra...Reading philosophy and journal publications in grad school has made your language far easier for me to read, ha ha! Admittedly, first coming to this blog a few years ago was intimidating... often I would reread the ideas and have too little context to draw from. In some ways it was maddening, because I felt as if I was presented a delicious dinner without the proper utensils. Exposure to a more academic language at the university has given me the utensils so to speak... the ability to savor this blog's "form." Pretty excited about this :) Hope you've been well.rborrellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12827358876671315758noreply@blogger.com
