Two More to Go
Two days (and one more sad sunset) later and the chapter is finished. It was anticlimactic. I sent it off and then I emptied the dishwasher and made a salad, which I ate while sitting on the floor and talking to Anna as she cooked. I only have two more to write, and one of them is short. And then begins the editing.
I will miss this project when it is over. I won’t miss it enough to want to do it again, but I will miss it, despite the large quantities of panic, and the increasing frustration now that we are in the final weeks. There are moments where being caught up in a writing project just seems so very right. Where the words come easily. Even if those words are “nonprobabilistic purposive sampling.” Today was like that, a day of enjoying language enough to forget about the outcome, of losing hours to the stringing together of ideas, following the leaps of them.
I know xanga won’t be around much longer. I’ve long been so fickle about writing here, and I’m okay with the thought that my blog will be gone soon. But, despite so much absence, lately these little shouts into the internet are nice, and necessary. This is a strange time. I’m glad for whoever might still be reading here. I have loved this place so.
