The Two-Year Plan is Unveiled!

No, I'm not talking about my government's plan to force everyone to emigrate, allowing them to have the country to themselves. (I could wish I were joking about that.)

No, this is my very own two-year plan.

2YP AIMS

-- core thesis complete
-- complete novel #1.
-- reading competence in ancient Greek
-- reading competence in modern Italian
-- have investigated freelance writing opportunities to some limited degree.
-- basic reading skillz in German

Followed by! The (still tentative) Five-Year Plan!

*sinister drumroll*

5YP AIMS

-- nonfiction book proposal for a) thesis and b) something else relevent to my interests.
-- complete novel #2
-- reading competence in Greek, Italian, German, Latin.
-- send out complete novel #1.




...No, I'm not really sure how I'm going to be able to succeed at this yet. On the other hand, research is what I want to do, and if that means I have to live on the dole and eat beans and rice for a large part of my life, and scrimp my pennies for ILL, I think I could accept this outcome.

Not gracefully, but I could well accept it.
