Partly because teaching and service have stolen a lot of my time and all I have time to do right now is get articles sent out; also partly because I want to be able to send them the whole ms immediately if they like the proposal and sample chapter. But the plan is still to send it out in January, just to my very top choice (long shot for a first book).<BR/><BR/>Do let me know when you hear (and you will!)Pamphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709191371678901051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27602223.post-90010555226604787752007-10-23T20:59:00.000-04:002007-10-23T20:59:00.000-04:00It sounds from your post though that this other sc...It sounds from your post though that this other scholar was at least several years ahead of you in the program, right? So perhaps it's not a matter of envy, but of time? <BR/><BR/>I submitted by book proposal last week, by the way, but only to one of four publishers on my list (each of whom want it in a different format, of course!), but now that it's out there, I'm envious of people like you who have whole chapters freshly written! I've still got so far to go, like two whole theory chapters. Yikes. <BR/><BR/>I hope that you're finding time to work on your book now that you're over the hump of the first year. That first year is always a write-off for writing anyway, right? That's what really makes me think that it's a matter of time, just as much as it's a matter of effort and skipping lunch. The brain and soul need nutrition and inspiration too, don't they?Pantagruellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276888537167616031noreply@blogger.com
