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).

Yet another of those mouse plans

My plans for today certainly went agly: I didn't even quite finish the grading of stuff for the 101, which I really did want to get done, but ah well. I just spent a while hurling together essay topics for the final essay for Nature in Lit; I have no idea if they make any kind of sense, but that's a good thing done. Or done-ish. When I send it to the wonderful librarian who is helping me put together a research guide, I asked her to let me know if any of the ideas just wouldn't work; I'd be happy to let the research guide the topics.

I have no idea how to prioritize the work I need to do for the next two days: both the SF and the Nature in Lit students need to get work back from me ASAP, and I'm not sure who's been getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop longer at this point. (Probably the Nature in Lit students, but ... well, I tend to put more time and energy into them than I should. It's that whole keyboard and my fingers thing: usually once I get started, it's awfully hard for me to stop. Witness the length of the usual post on this blog.)

Well, tomorrow will tell, I reckon. For now, I'm going to practice fiddle for the first time in almost two weeks (that will be, um, interesting), then practice my Coherence breathing (it sounds funny to say I'm going to practice breathing, but, well, that's essentially what I'm going to do), which will initialize the glide into relaxation for the night.

I probably won't post tomorrow, as I'm going out for a steak blowout with Paul, William, and Kristin--or if I do post, it will be very brief. Tonight's post is, I know, uncharacteristically short, but I've been nailed to this chair long enough, and I've rebounded off the wall a couple of times already. That's the signal that it's a good moment to allow the work and posting to trickle to a halt.
