I seem to write a lot here about my problems with writing, about not being able to write… but this sunny Sunday morning I have to say writing has been flowing, and this strange feeling of excitement fills my body, it’s as if suddenly I knew I can actually do this, that a PhD is not an impossible feat and that my topic is my topic because I have been thinking about it for a very long time and feel a very close connection with it. After the radio show yesterday came back home carrying my record bag hurdling the drunken hordes leaving the Arsenal game. After cooking dinner I worked long hours. Were it not for the radio show yesterday I wouldn’t have spoken to anyone. I woke up very early this morning with the urge to continue working.

I’ve also finished putting together yet another compilation of bits and pieces (prose and some poetry) I have written here and there. It’s called Reverse Order: A Notebook and it is looking for a daring publisher. It’s in English with some bits in Spanish.

Gravity and Grace are not here today.
Sunday’s their day off.
There is an uncomfortable silence.

Ese fue el mismo sentimiento que me invadió cuando hacía mi tesis de licenciatura. La tesis de maestría fue un trabajo x, nunca me apasionó. Mi tema de tesis doctoral me gusta, pero el PhD lo veo como algo imposible, quizá sea en gran parte el que he tenido completamente abandonado m proyecto por casi dos años. A ver cómo me va este verano, en que retome mi investigación.
