June

Hi everyone--it's been a while.

I haven't written in three weeks, here and--to a lesser extent--on the bulk of the book. I've instead been wrapping up a crazy semester, working on a new draft of my book proposal, getting feedback on a chapter that will likely need to transform into an article, and spending a few days on vacation with my sweet husband.

Now I'm in Boston, about to start a month-long Fellowship at the Houghton Library at Harvard. I've been promising a run-down of the pivot the book is taking, as well as a new version of my intensive Manuscript-a-Palooza writing schedule. They are coming, I promise! Probably tomorrow evening, since I like to start my Fellowship time with that kind of planning.

While my sharing has been remiss, there's been something really helpful about the amount of thinking (as opposed to predominately writing) that I've been able to do over the last couple weeks (see pic for evidence), and I'm excited to get back into everything.

A plan!

I'm hoping to post a little more frequently this month as I go, even if they are shorter updates, so here's to making up some time with you and with the book!
