This is just a quick post to 1) apologize for being so long between posts, and 2) to observe that “write the book” wrecks havoc with a To-Do-List. Everything gets pushed off the list until “after”—and that after can be a Very Long Time.
I’m closing in on the final second draft (officially draft 2.3). Soon I’ll send it off to one of the editors I work with—the amazing Dan Smetanka—and then I’ll dive into all the other things on my To Do List, which includes: organizing a research trip to France in May, getting my Facebook readers going on the Google Lit Trip project again, and trying to get out a newsletter.
All this in addition to the not-so-minor task of closing up my Mexico office and moving it up north! I’ve over two weeks, but I’m already suffering book anxiety: which to take back, which to leave behind.
But first: the final, final, final changes to Draft 2.3…
