Back to Work

Well, the long July 4 weekend is over. And I'm heading back to work. I spent this morning journaling, and I'm going to be working on a couple of writing projects today, in addition to getting back into teaching.

Work will progress on the script for Primetime, which I'm writing with Roy C. Booth. In addition, I'm working on Much To Do About Nothing, and I'm still working on my article about Self-help that I want to submit to Journal of American Culture.

Science Fiction Studies recently handed me my head on a platter with reviews about the piece about Harry Turtledove and Gandhi. Too polemical was the reply. I wonder: I'm on the left and happily so, but I think that these guys are so left wing that they can't hear anything but their own blather. The thing is that academic lefts accomplish so little, except to brow beat their conservative students. Let them go run for office. Good god, that would mean they would have to get off their asses and do something. It's a shame. No wonder things are so bad in this country.


Oh, well. Back to the drawing board.
