I'm a little crazy these days. What with the moon and the wolf bite and all...
D's deep into a double deadline: comps and a conference paper both due within two weeks of each other. We were supposed to go to a concert tomorrow, but it turns out the show is tonight, and that's just not happening. I need to turn the MMLA paper around, and I had a good conversation with one of my advisors this morning about the paper, how to revise it, and where it fits in my own comps. I also unleashed my diss idea on him, and he kept nodding thoughfully. "Pretty fucking cool," he kept saying.
I like that I have an advisor in my PhD that says that.
Here's your glimpse into a small but sturdy quarterly lit journal and how it works: Spring should be in the mails, summer just went back to the typesetters with galley revision, and fall gets picked this weekend. Thus, I read the summer issue this week, and I've been putting the infrastructure together for the editor to choose fall.
Now, the question I really have is this: How and when do we transition to a more electronic format? For many reasons, not the least of which is green. Yes, I know electricity must be generated somewhere--and that mostly means coal in this country--but single point pollution is always more easily dealt with than the myriad trucks we must transport with, and that's before we start to get into the trees...
OK. Too much for right now. First, fall 2008. It'll be good. You'll see.
