My Weekly Calendar

I used to have a goal here about eventually reading one book a day and writing fifty pages each week. Someday I may be able to get to fifty pages written, but I've had to come to terms with my inability to read fast enough to ever reach the other goal. Instead, I've begun pacing myself for what I think I can accomplish around work and other priorities. It will drastically cut back how many books I get through each year, but sometimes life is also about accepting what you won't achieve. It's beautiful and necessary to believe in infinite possibilities, but it's also beautiful and necessary to understand limitations.

Writing Philosophy

While watching Project Runway, I was yelling at one of the designers about her supposed design philosophy. Suddenly, I realized that I have a teaching philosophy but no writing philosophy. My teaching philosophy is: "We communicate through personal experiences that contain universal truths." But what is my writing philosophy? I don't know. I'm going to think hard about it, though.

Meanwhile, I'm reading Ulysses by James Joyce. It will take all week, I think.
