We have made it to the sixth month already and wow, has this year gone by both fast and slow at once. The big news is that I’m not going to grad school in the fall despite efforts to secure a spot in a Ph.D program. So what does that mean here? Beyond me looking for a new job to pay the bills at least for the time being, it means that throughout the next year I should have more time to dedicate to writing projects and the podcasts I want to get started, among other things.
Folks in my discord server are already aware of this, but I’ve had a research project that’s been nibbling at my brain for well over a year now, and that’s a broader comparison of responses to the 1918 Flu and the COVID-19 pandemics. I have some thoughts and some research questions that are floating around, so stay tuned for that both here and on my blog (I’ll be cross-posting, likely with early access to patrons here). So that will be coming down the pipes.
I have some podcast ideas that are still floating around as well as a TikTok idea that I may or may not roll with sometime in the future (mostly because old newspaper headlines can be WILD).
I’ll be diving back into UNSETIC projects and currently I’m planning on July’s Camp NaNoWriMo project to be writing 50,000 words in that universe, though not limited to any particular project. Edits are still in the works on Lost and Found and I’m debating whether I’m going to make my own cover (which is what I typically do) or if I’m going to think about hiring someone to design it for me. Either way, time will tell with regard to what I’m going to do.
Also, it’s Pride, so happy Pride today, this month, and don’t forget that love is love.
