I love this, Juliana, because you have just hit the nail on the head for me about that "itch" or tingle of excitement around a piece of writing! I found it this week in a book of essays where each word began to excite me around my research interests and I almost abandoned it, thinking, I don't want to study, I just want to read, dammit!! But when I began scribbling in margins, I realised I can just take notes and "research" for the sheer joy of it, and it doesn't even matter if I never get to the end of the book!
