Is it a private space to write about my life, or a public space to discuss my interests?&nbsp;Meanwhile, I've been wanting to post my longer book reviews somewhere that isn't Goodreads.<br /><br />So, I&nbsp;have started a separate book blog! It is called <a href="https://dreammaps.dreamwidth.org/">Dream Maps</a>, I&nbsp;will be posting book reviews and essays, mainly about speculative fiction. I&nbsp;have several Goodreads reviews that I'll be adapting, and once I've exhausted my backlist, I hope to continue posting once a month or so.<br /><br />For the time being I&nbsp;will share a link here whenever I&nbsp;post on the book blog. In the unlikely event that the blog gains its own momentum, I&nbsp;will stop cross-posting, but for now it seems sensible.<br /><br />Additionally, I&nbsp;will be moving this journal to friends-only, since it will be strictly focused on personal life. Could change in the future, but seems like the right move for now.<br /><br />I'm excited about this endeavor!&nbsp;Dreamwidth has been such a refreshing place to practice what I&nbsp; think of as &quot;Slow Internet.&quot; Book blogs may be very 2009, but <em>I </em> am very 2009 and am looking forward to the practice of writing reflectively in this small corner of the web.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rebeccarobota&ditemid=13375" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://rebeccarobota.dreamwidth.org/13375.html public 1 https://rebeccarobota.dreamwidth.org/320.html Thu, 17 Jan 2019 17:44:15 GMT https://rebeccarobota.dreamwidth.org/320.html Hi, all! I'm a queer/bi white cis woman in my mid-30s, originally from New England, currently working as a librarian in Richmond, Virginia. I read and write speculative fiction; adore comics, public radio, and podcasts; and am enthusiastic about history, spending time outdoors, local food, travel, my cat, and smashing capitalism/patriarchy/white supremacy (or at least pointedly critiquing it).<br /><br />I started journaling here in 2019, when I decided it was time to return to social media and discovered that Dreamwidth was waiting for me all this time, like the punk fairy godmother of the Internet.<br /><br />I mostly write about daily life, personal grievances, writing, the occasional baked good, and other Things I Think Are Neat. Shoot me a message if you'd like to be friends!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rebeccarobota&ditemid=320" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://rebeccarobota.dreamwidth.org/320.html public 0
