NEW SUMMER ISSUE OUT – END OF JUNE
The new summer edition of The Writing Disorder will be out at the end of June.
Everyone who contributed to this issue will be notified prior to the publication date,
so you can review your work.
Thanks for your patience.
From Virginia Woolf
“I do not wish you to infer … that the novelist is in a perpetual state of inspiration. I mean, rather, that the novelist is in a perpetual state of lethargy. He wishes (it is his desire) to be as unconscious as possible. He wants life to proceed with the utmost quiet and regularity. He wants to see the same faces, to read the same books, to do the same things day after day and month after month, so that nothing may break the illusion, that nothing may disturb the flow, that nothing may interrupt the mysterious nosings about, feelings round, darts and dashes and sudden discoveries of that very shy and illusive fish the imagination.”
—Virginia Woolf
