Obviously, I’ve been having trouble holding it together in the face of the changes mentioned last week.
As I wait, white-knuckled, for updates fed to me piece by piece, it’s become tougher and tougher to concentrate on my other work.
One ray of sunshine: The personal essay I had sweated over for the site — a first draft and two rewrites — will finally be running this coming Monday (knock on wood). A single caveat: It’s been shortened even further, to account for the new direction of the site, in which such essays will be far less sprawling.
Instead of blogging here, or working on rewrites, or copy editing manuscripts, I’ve been obsessively refreshing my Google Reader and my Twitter feed so, at the very least, I do have some link love to share with you, albeit one day late. Check it out:
