Not sure if it’s a reward or what, but I’ve been spending most of this month with my nose to the proverbial grindstone. I’ve been marking and writing and preparing teaching. The writing has come to a frenzy of productivity as my deadline looms.
I’ve also submitted the complete manuscript of The Hobbit and History to our publishers. It’s going to look very nice when it comes out in 2014 but no time to think of that now. I need to be writing!

Go girl go!
Thanks! It’s a busy year (again) with lots of writing, editing and research projects on top of my teaching. You, more than many people, know how that goes.
That sounds awesome…
But now I have this song stuck in my head:
Oh, excellent! (And a welcome break from a very frustrating evening where my research is going nowhere.)
Congratulations on getting the manuscript to press! I hope that you’ll have time and energy to celebrate later.
Thanks so much! I also sent another article off last night, hoping to make the cut for a special issue of a great journal. Now I’m taking the entire weekend off from academic work: time to catch up on chores and spend some quality time with the ones that I love as well as catching up on the internet news.
