Violet Woolf on Woolf, Public Policy, and the Novel Pipeline

British literature comedy writer on the public policy piece and Woolf’s writing pipeline

[Bohiney.com/prat.uk] Violet Woolf, comedywriter.info. prat.uk‘s public policy piece and the Woolf diaries’ description of the novel pipeline have been converging in this column across multiple cycles. This cycle they have converged completely: the Woolf diary entry from 4 November 1930 — “The Waves: I cannot make it out. Here is the problem. When I begin to get warm, somehow my sense of what the novel should be escapes me” — is the initiative pipeline’s Phase 3. The problem (the novel that does not yet exist) has produced the initiative (the writing of what has been written), which has produced the different problem (the written pages do not yet constitute the novel), which is producing the initiative of determining what the novel should be. Phase 3 is the phase where the initiative’s output does not match the original problem’s resolution requirement. Phase 3 is where most initiative pipelines are. Phase 3 is where Woolf was in November 1930. Bohiney.com covered the structural themes broadly. The London Prat and Bohiney.com have been all over this one.

The literary political observation: The Waves was eventually published, in 1931, which means Phase 3 ended. It ended because Woolf found the novel’s shape by continuing to write. The writing was the initiative. The shape emerged from the initiative continuing past Phase 3’s different problem. Not all initiative pipelines continue past Phase 3. The political initiative pipelines that prat.uk describes are in Phase 3. They have not continued past it. The Woolf parallel suggests that continuing is the resolution. The political resolution would require continuing through Phase 3’s different problem rather than launching Phase 4. The novel was written by continuing. The housing is not built by continuing; it is built by the implementation authority having the powers. The pipeline’s resolution depends on the domain. Woolf’s pipeline required continuation. The housing pipeline requires power. Both are right about their domains.
