Noted: Read Like Virginia Woolf
Hi Jane. First, the most important thing:
Happy Birthday!!
I love your substack for so many reasons- and today it’s like a present you give us on YOUR birthday.
Thanks for the gift!
I was busy painting in my studio and decided that instead of reading I would listen to today’s entry with Jillian Hess.
(how great to use the audio feature if my hands and eyes are busy with something else - a nice way to not miss your newsletter)
I enjoyed so much hearing about Virginia Wolf’s notebook - all the many details!
I love that Jillian hunts and excavates for this gold. I’ll have to subscribe to her substack.
(I did)
I am not a journal keeper or notebook maker.
I am a list-maker and a Post-it note stacker.
However, I still related so much.
It had me smiling to hear how similar what Jillian does (and Virginia Wolf did) in notebooks is to how I approach making a painting.
It caused me to look at my painting in a way I hadn’t before. Nifty!
Happy birthday!! I hope your readers enjoy this piece!
