Revival

Recently I have decided to revive this blog, although I have some reservations. I am out of practice, and generally I do not find my writing to be very satisfactory. But one can only improve through practice, and what is wrong with publishing (on a private, little blog) this practice? My inclination in writing for blogs has always been to either write short fragments that are totally unpolished, only half thought out and often quite oblique, or to focus on carefully edited reviews and articles. For some reason it pains me to see these two formats side by side, so, for instance, on this blog, I have deleted all the short rants and left only the reviews (although I must admit that they are not all that polished either). I should try to avoid this habit and must say now that this blog will be a dumping ground for whatever comes out of my head. And yet I shall endeavor to make whatever comes out of my head sound as good as possible to the reader's inner ear.
