Something rather odd happened. I finished the History Project. I am as surprised as the next person. I expected to be working on it for all time. Now, as I say this, I know there will be more to do. Revisions, edits, etc. And there is no guarantee that the Press will accept said project. Somehow, at this moment, I do not care. At the very least, I do not have to worry about it for the moment.
I now can turn my attention to other projects, other work, and I can do crazy things like maybe read a novel. I really want to read a novel. I am also looking forward to having normal and intelligent conversations with people. Obsession with a History Project tends to lead to all conversations leading back to said scholarly endeavor. One also tends to have moments where actually talking to people in a polite and engaged way becomes bothersome, as it interrupts ones all consuming passion of one's work. Or a person gets mentally tired and does not wish to actually engage with others in any capacity. So, it is nice to be past that.
The larger issue for the two or three of you who might be checking in here is of course, does this mean there will be more posts? Well, won't that be a surprise if there are more posts!
