work
u will have noticed i have allowed myself an hyewge flood of extra work recently, as part of a project of repositioning myself to be better paid and revered world-wide blah blah
this is (so far) sorta kinda totally working out well (this month -- which i suspect be an upper-end hard-to-repeat blip) i will be paid something like 4 x as much for less than twice the work (ie about what i actually ought to be earning, experience-wise)
it means of course that i am already feeling significant pangs of resentment at not having time to get on with writing i actually want to do: i owe FT about six posts, none of them even very long, i have a big essay on black science fiction (revisited) due by end of march, and only abt a week free to research and write it -- not actually being paid for it either -- and i am weeks behind on frank's kuhn-stuff
plus lollards is abt to re-start, and eli and i have a slugs idea which is now three months behind schedule
