i might reread this at a later date as a detailed analysis of the nature of being an author/writer. only when one does not need to fight or submit to her age-- only when one is of one's age, and is comfortable in her own skin-- can she write and write well. but when will i become comfortable with myself? when will i manage to reconcile the inexperience of my age with the grandeur i have planned for myself?

i love virginia woolf's style. there's something very fluid about the way she writes; she takes you on a meandering journey, and it's nothing short of exhilarating. only issue so far is the overt racism but that's to be expected of a book written in this period
