THINGS HAVE CHANGED:

Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.


Hi! And you are...?

I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).

displacing even more....

Wow, that resistance to the thematic chapters is pretty powerful. Today's displacement activities included a rather long and complex negotiation with a friend to set up a Sunday brunch, paying bills, checking into tango class options...

All of that after an insanely late start to the work day, and followed by time working on the "Science and Science Fiction" chapter. That chapter actually needed more work than I realized; what I'd done was not only relatively sketchy but pretty well left out an important chunk dealing with the conventions of SF as a genre.

So I've been noodling around with that, while getting up to walk around every 50 minutes--and now I have to fold up my tents and pack up for tonight's sojourn into the City for tonight's dance class (and I have already paid for another for tomorrow, just to make sure I go).

Which means, my dears, that this is all I have time for tonight. But despite all the displacement activities, I did get some work done, which is all to the good.
