ABOUT

[Updated May 2017]

26. She/her. ISTJ. Self-identified literary scholar. Happily in a relationship, but I don't wish long-distance on anyone.

I post quotations from things I read both for the purposes of keeping a record and because, perhaps more importantly, I hope that something will resonate with someone out there, and s/he will be moved to read that text.

I don't claim ownership for anything unless explicitly stated. (Comments I've made on posts I reblog should be clear.)

If I've reblogged anything of yours that you would like to have removed, please let me know. (Giving me a link to the post in question helps a lot.) Ditto if I haven't properly sourced anything that I've posted. (I try to add a Source? tag on things I reblog if they're not sourced.) Do let me know!

(I also unfollow upon request—just let me know.)

(I mean, I mostly pledge to read words, period.
I don't mind e-readers. I just have a special fondness for physical books.)

The book counting saga has been absolutely thrilling. My PhD and postdoc research has involved a lot of debate about how to count author publications in a systematic way (e.g. how do you count short stories? Do you count the stories individually? Only count them individually if they were published individually? What about anthologies and collections?) The answer is no one really knows, and everyone is unhappy with some system of counting. It’s surprisingly complicated.

That is fascinating and not really surprising. Normally I don’t have to think about how many books I’ve published, unless I’m talking at a school, and someone asks directly. And then I say “Lots,” and change the subject.
