I think there’s a whole other revolution of l’écriture feminine happening on the Internet—I know that seems hyperbolic, but I really do believe it. The blog is such a fascinating, confessional, diaristic, form, that has something in common with the notebook form, Camus’ notebooks or Elizabeth Hardwick’s fictional notebook Sleepless Nights, or Montaigne’s longform essays. I’m thinking less of Marie Calloway and more the notebooking you do, or the subsubculture of writers who keep personal literary blogs that comment often on my own blog, Bhanu Kapil or Jennifer Lowe or Suzanne Scanlon. I think there is something particularly feminine about this form—also that we can publish ourselves, and that it’s uncensored except what we choose to censor, that we can be pseudonymous or develop different literary personas. This sort of blogging is part process, part performance art. And I would connect it in a lineage to girls writing in their Tumblrs, and before that Livejournals.

This is brilliant, and exactly what I want to approach in my work. There are some seriously important things going on here, and it says so much more interesting things about the Internet than twitter or facebook analysises can ever do.
