I had her write a few entries on mine (which is password protected, and only directed to people I know in real life). Yesterday, at dinner, she said she had two stories. When I asked her what they were, she said, no I want to put them up on the computer (blog). It's fun. I think she's enjoying how "published" it looks, just like everything else she reads on the internet, except their her own words. bj PS: daughter is six, so she's not ready to do any html coding herself. Right now, she types in simple 4 sentence paragraphs that tell her stories. I think it's good writing practice, though, and maybe she will have her own blog next year.

It’s fun. I think she’s enjoying how “published” it looks, just like everything else she reads on the internet, except their her own words.

In my outline I talked about the (reported) lack of stories and public discourse about the (sometimes difficult or indeed impossible) transition to motherhood, and wondered whether blogs and other online writing had changed the situation, or whether they still exist more in the realm of the private, and as such fail to transform experience at the level of public discourse and power structures. Something like that anyway. Have no idea how I am going to figure out an answer to that question of course - but I'm working on the fiction right now, so that's okay. :) Wow, it sounds like a great paper Dawn, I’d love to read it when it’s done - it’s sort of related to the fiction & exegesis work I am doing (or trying to do).

I'm writing a bit about how reading affects narratives, so I'm suddenly feeling much more better, as Curious Girl would say, about how my paper is going to fit on this panel. Yay.
