Progress!

1 September 2025: Finally--over the past two days--I have had the time and the mental space to get some writing done on my portion of the Year's Work essay. It feels so good to be in that groove. Right now, the Twain section is drafted and needs another round of reading-through, revising, and editing. 

Next up is the "literature" section about all the non-Twain stuff. Hoping to knock a lot of that out this week. 

(Always funny to make progress on work on Labor Day, but the freedom from a regular work day makes it possible!

Making progress on the "Year's Work"

30 July 2025: I think I've just finished my last batch of reading and note-taking for my portion of the "Year's Work" essay, having made my way through The Routledge Companion to Absurdist Literature. Feels good to have this part of the task done. Next comes writing, of course, but that's on a little pause until my co-author and I can talk about a new approach to that task.  

Revisions submitted...

29 October 2023: Excited to cross this off of my list: submitted the revisions for our "Year's Work" essay this evening. I imagine we'll get it back one more time--when it's in the proofs stage--but usually, today's step is the last big one.

This is a special issue of the journal that I guest edited and for which I wrote the introduction. Very exciting to see it come to fruition!
