I have an essay draft. This is good.
But this is only the beginning. Since the essay deathmarch from hell is now underway. Eight weeks, eight 2000-word essays. Death or glory*.
I doubt I'll have brain enough to work on the novel, much less the endurance to do it well. So I think I'll stop beating myself up over that and go play with short stories with what little brain I've left over. They don't, at least, require novel-type endurance.
Speak not to me of Minoan trade with Egypt. Unless you have a good map.
