So instead of arcs, they have helices?

Pretty much, it's back to chapter 3 instead of chapter 1, but that's pretty close.

I crawling through 48 right now as I'm trying to work stuff in. Things should get better when I hit the end of 48 to beginning of 49.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

My book review was accepted for publication! This, my first academic piece in a real journal, will probably be published in June. I am very pleased. Now to do something with the section of my dissertation that I want to try to publish. It's basically a lit review, which is boring in its current form. It makes good arguments from the literature it reviews, though, so it's worth me trying to find a way to keep it literature-focused. Hmm.

Thanks all! I should be pleased, rather than immediately worrying about the next thing, right? :D

Always Anti-fascist!

I think of those times as "Billy Walsh moments" after this screenwriter/director on "Entourage. Billy's mental, but most writers are a little like him in that we ping-pong between pride and self-loathing so frequently. Billy's an extreme case in that his poles are "The next Marty Scorcese" or "Writes shit unfit to be seen by humans" but, I think, on a smaller, less assy, level, we've been there.
