Busy, Busy

It's been a solid few weeks of work, hence my limited blogging. So far, I'm keeping to my plans and writing for two days a week, even though it has been a little slow going at times. I'm hoping this week to finish the book proposal for number 2, and then the plan is to write the proposal and sample chapter for number 3 (on Celebrity). It should be doable--before Christmas I'd like to have three book contracts and that's motivating me to keep going. I've also realized the second half of my sample chapter for book 2 could be a stand-alone article so I may tinker with that as I start the proposal for Celebrity.

I have to say I haven't been so excited about my work since grad school days. Now I just need the time to write rather than prepare classes, which takes far longer than teaching them!

It's always good to be busy writing and researching :)

I'm swamped with preparing lectures every week (why oh why are they 2 hours each??)

It looks like I'm going to have another lecture class next semester. I am not exactly thrilled with my teaching load when compared with that of my fellow Fellows. I would love to work on my book proposal and an article instead.

Good luck with proposal no. 2!
