    59 Things You Didn't Know About Virginia Woolf

    awritersruminations:

    A few of my favorites:

    • After getting married, Woolf thought she should learn some domestic skills, so she enrolled in a school of cookery. Shortly after, she accidentally baked her wedding ring in a suet pudding.
    • Woolf listened to Beethoven’s late quartets while writing The Waves.
    • Woolf once discovered a diary she had written during one particular sane and lucid period in her life, and laughed upon rereading it.
    • Woolf delighted in the physical act of writing words on paper. From the age of 11, she was continually experimenting with different kinds of pens in hope of finding one that would provide the perfect sensation.
