Hard at work here

I’ve been working hard at making myself get my Africa book finished. Since I also have a life (okay, this may come as a surprise to some blog-readers), this means I need to cut back on blogging a bit.
Who knows, maybe I’ll blog more about Africa or post some other interesting tidbits on JWN along the way? Right now, though, I have nine already drafted chapters of the book to re-wrestle with and then about three more to write. It’s high-order concentration that’s needed here, not lots of distractions like blogging.
Especially not blogging about the Middle East.
I figured there will still be a big story in the ME even after the Africa book gets done.

  1. “Especially not blogging about the Middle East.”
    Especially since much of the news out of the Mideast seems to vindicate the vile Bush. Especially since even Helena’s old lebanese pals seem to be sounding rather neoconnish at the moment.
