Oh. Hi there! Gee, um… long time no see.

So Ive just five minutes ago submitted the book manuscript that Ive been working on for the last bit. (And just FYI, the deadline was today. And I took the last two days to fiddle with formatting, proofreading, screenshot collection, and the like. Im stunned to be on time, because honestly, I never thought Id make it.)

Anyhow, for the last couple of weeks Ive been thinking to myself, you know, one of the nice things about finishing the manuscript will be that I dont know what Im doing next. Ive got some projects in the pipeline, dont get me wrong, but no big, focused Project. Which means that Im actually going to get to pay attention to the small things — which is to say that Im going to get to be a blogger again.

The first order of business, however, is knocking a few things off the to-do list, where theyve languished all summer while I sprinted for the finish line. And then Im going to be working on getting the manuscript posted online, at MediaCommons, for open review. I hope that participating in the discussions coming out of that review process will constitute my primary scholarly work for the fall — and so I hope that youll come by and read and leave me whatever feedback you have to share.

Which is to say that Ill be haranguing you to do so. But hopefully Ill be able to pay attention to other things going on in the world, too…
