Inspired by [personal profile] upstart_crow, who was in turn inspired by [personal profile] erzebet (all good things lead back to [personal profile] erzebet) I am currently:

- Dissertating.
- Trying to get my recs in order for Endicott.
(P.S., If you know a book which is wonderful and which deserves commendation, hit me in the comments.)
- Mulling over fiction titles in my head.  I have, like, a bakers dozens of story ideas in my head, yet not the bollocks (or time, I suppose) to write the results out for fear that I will end up with slush.  Ah, the ever-lasting trauma of being a professional critic .....
- Choosing the right academic essays for the next big double-issue of CdF.
- Trying to choose a topic for the editorial for the next CdF.
- Pondering the possibility of guest-editing another journal, and also wondering who the hell I'd solicit for essays on the New Weird.  (Uh ... [profile] pythia_akrypta?)
- Freaking right the hell out about going on the market next year.
- Savoring the feeling of having had a lovely tea with Ellen, Delia, and Terri.
- Turning the possibility of attending My First ReaderCon over in my mind - would anyone already attending be looking for a roomie?
- Plotting my first entry on Chicken Legs.
- Kind of appreciating the fact that my last piece of jewelry-making went wrong, as I'm liking how it went wrong.
(It was meant to be a simple marquis-shaped opal, bezel-set, in a collar of eyes.  However, the opal, being ... an opal, cracked in the setting.  Now it's a mosaic, to which I frustratedly attatched a little tiny claw-charm that I found with [profile] vschanoes last year in London.  Now, methinks, it is the beginning of a Baba Yaga necklace.  Go figure ....)
- Pondering commissioning [personal profile] elisem for a necklace with the title she posted finding on a scrap of paper in her pocket some months ago - "The Post-Colonial Literature of the Elves".  Being that I study fairy tales, it seems oddly appropriate; also, at the Haiku Earring party, a lovely woman solemnly told me that she was wearing a Magical Writing Necklace.  I want a Magical Writing Necklace.  Given Item the First, it seems oddly appropriate .....

You know, looking back over this list, it occurs to me that I am more prone to tangents than the other people who have made them.

In line with the necklace going wrong, yet my nonetheless liking the results .... figures.

I'd certainly be interested in writing some sort of essay on the NW for ya! In fact, I'm working on an entry on that topic for the Encyclopedia of Women in Science Fiction and Fantasy, so I'll be even more entrenched in it after that...
