Hello. I'm back again after nearly a year of nothingness, and this time I am blogging only because I want to, not because it is a class requirement.
Since I changed the focus of my blog, I have also changed the title to something that better encompasses what I want to blog about. I plan for this blog to be about the process of learning Chinese, and about the process of writing novels. Basically, I write about the process of learning about "characters," both Chinese and fictional.
Hopefully my Digital Civilization professor will forgive me for this departure into non academia. I will try to keep the part about the Chinese academic at least. And, rather than simply spout off my opinion about anything, I will always try to give it within some context of what other people are saying (a very academic concept). I'll do this, not because I want my blog to be "scholarly" exactly, but because I want it to actually help people who are interested in the same things I am.
Hopefully, this will be fun.
