a word of warning
stopped at 137, in the interest of a geographically-bordered hiatus. left off all work on the project for a month that turned into 2 that turned into completely reworking my geographically-bordered intentions.
137. that's a mostly-full draft of an introduction, chapter 1, and chapter 2, plus a good 5-page start to chapter 3 and at least a general outline of the purposes-to-be-served-by 4 - 6. so i may have looked slack lately, but rest assured that there is a paper, and (oh, yes) it will be done.
am rebuilding my office so that i can do work in it. am rebuilding my writing-community connections so that i can do work in it. am also worrying about the flickery power-connection on this otherwise fabulous laptop, & need to remind myself to check & see if my roommate's going to leave hers behind when she takes off galivanting this summer like she did last summer so that if i have to turn the dear machine over to the darling fix-it people, i can do work even without it (b/c o gasp i do live without a desktop machine!)
but i will be getting back to work in not too long. and posting updates to my google-docs file that my committee can peer into (doesn't mean they do, or even want to, which is not a bash on them, as i rarely want to either--but it's about the quasi-public accountability, see).
am also telling me right now that i will be writing a dissertation in july, in addition to doing all of my more entrenched and mandatory traveling--i will have neither the time nor the money to go back to pennsic. this year. so in support of the project and the sacrifice required, can i get a "huzzah!" to tide me over?
