I am beyond a little confused to be honest. I read the whole thing and I will now try to decipher two of the sections from Shelley Jackson's "Stitch Bitch: the patchwork girl".
Body Not Whole
This first part sets kind of sets up the whole stitch work of the whole article. At the beginning of this section Shelley Jackson writes about how the body is not really connected. I am not completely sure of what she was getting at, but from what I take from it she was relating it to writing in the way that things are mot all connected to begin with. When Jackson says "The body is not even experienced as whole. We never see it all, we can't feel our liver working or messages shuttling through our spine", I believe she is talking about how writing on a whole is still in small parts and how they can be read separability.
Boundary Play
This section of beings by saying, "We don't think what we think we think." What Shelley Jackson is saying is similar to when a mind changes what you read to make it correct. The boundaries of our mind need to be expanded so we can have more margin for change when it naturally occurs. I guess that we write what makes sense , maybe, because in a way don't think what we think.
“I guess that we write what makes sense, maybe, because in a way don't think what we think.”
ReplyDeleteAn interesting proposition. Are you referencing the way a writer seems to recognize his or her own work upon completing it, regardless of it’s mechanical correctness? If so, what steps could writers take to remedy this habit?—a habit that can render text hard to follow by others.
