So today's "mission accomplished" was turning in the corrections for the final page proofs of my article - "Martial Maids and Murdering Mothers" - set to appear in volume 3, issue 2 of Routledge's journal Shakespeare in November of 2007 (going to press in August - next month).
Look, ma! I'm a real acamademic!
Not much else to announce... I don't know whether or not I get a "real" copy of the article (or the journal issue) yet, but I don't really plan on buying more than one (if I buy one at all). I have the page-proof pdf, which is enough for me, since it has all the real things like page numbers, citations, and so on.
The dissertation continues... and continues... and continues...
Well, you get the idea. One of these days I hope to be able to announce that I'm done with this godawful process, but I'm not holding my breath and neither should you. Just know that if I manage by some miracle to get a novel successfully published beforehand, I may decide to alter the course of my life. Then again, maybe not. We'll have to see.
