It seems to have been an eternity since I actually said anything here...
Well, that's mostly true. Part of the issue is that I've reached that point in my life where my work - the prospectus and all - has become something to safeguard, rather than share. In other words, I have to be careful about the places in which my ideas appear, as intellectual theft could wreak havoc with an academic career. Hence my silence.
This does not mean, however, that I intend to abandon this poor little blog.
Rather, the updates will be less detailed and perhaps less academic in nature. They may begin to contain rougher ideas, conference updates, and (maybe) some of my more creative rather than intellectual ideas.
I may also be feeding this to my lj, so that those readers need not check two places and (the more motivating reason) so that I don't have to type the same thing twice.
That said... The Update.
I will be going to the Ohio Shakespeare Conference in early November - entitled "Violently Shakespeare" - and presenting a paper on Beaumont and Fletcher's The Maid's Tragedy. I'm still debating a little whether or not to wear my t-shirt from last year's production. I think I'm just this side of that dorky.
I'm also slogging through the proverbial brick wall that is my prospectus. Maybe one of these days I'll actually get it back with "this will do" written on it, instead of "re-do this part." *sigh*
