I suspect some desire “to get on with it.”… Underneath of course wells of pessimism. I am trying to tell whichever self it is that reads this hereafter that I can write very much better; and take no time this; and forbid her to let the eye of man behold it. One must get out of life… one must become externalized; very, very concentrated, all at one point, not having to draw upon the scattered parts of ones character, living in the brain… When I write I’m merely a sensibility. Haddock and sausage meat.

I love diaries...I know she's incredibly talented and intelligent-but after so long her diary started to give me a headache. I absolutely savored becoming intimate with Virginia Woolf and the opportunity to gain entry into her emotional life.

I liked the edition, the translation not superlative, but good enough not to be relevant, the cover and quality of the paper were fantastic - I don't talk about that enough, but it's very important.
Second the reading of good literature. Endless local stories. Thus defeat the shrinkage of age. The following excerpts are from the diary of Virginia Woolf. A Writer’s Diary (1953) - Extracts from the complete diary; A Moment's Liberty: the shorter diary (1990) The Diary of Virginia Woolf (five volumes) - Diary of Virginia Woolf from 1915 to 1941; Passionate Apprentice: The Early Journals, 1897-1909 (1990) Travels With Virginia Woolf (1993) - Greek travel diary of Virginia Woolf, edited by Jan Morris Really interesting. The diaries would also be helpful to potential writers because she explains her process with each book; emotional states, inspirations, sights, sounds, re-writes, interruptions, time-lines, how she feels when books come out, how reviews affect her, how she gets her feelings hurt, humiliation, friendship, perseverance, and torture in the form of rest cures. Very old. I must read him some day. Follow @meetsusangibson What Virginia Woolf writes here,in the first volume of what would become her massive collection of diaries, is, in her words, "...unpremeditated scribbling...". I first read the complete set of Woolf's diaries well over twenty years ago and loved every page of them. Leonard Woolf (New York: New American Library, 1953), p. 134; 7 November 1928 entry. Indeed, I could say that Shakespeare surpasses literature altogether, if I knew what I meant.
