I hope I can think of a new writing project one of these days. Both my books come from graduate school work as do the articles I've co-written. Now I'm project-less and I hope I'm not one of those flunkies who can only come up with writing projects when guided by the structures of an academic community. Note to self: COME ON HEFFERNAN! GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME. But here's the thing... part of me actually likes this project-less time, where I feel okay about taking time to exercise, read, and have fun with Husbandman and pals. Just this morning in fact, I dared Husbandman to go outside to our Negative SEVEN degree yard and stand in front of the window for a minute. He did it and I could barely stop laughing long enough to take a photo. He didn't even wear a coat. He said it really wasn't that cold. If I had a writing project, I probably wouldn't have taken time for this amazing dare. Maybe I would have. Not really sure. But back to my point. I feel like I want to start working on a new project and I sincerely hope I can figure out something that can get me writing again. The Thirdlanders are doing some cool things and I've lots of things I'm curious about that I could start looking into. We're going to be away for an entire month this summer in Toronto. Wouldn't it be great if I had a fun project to write about each day, before I walk over to the dumpling places for lunch?
I hope I can come up with something soon. As my Nana used to say, "We shall see, said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer... and saw."

I love the murals. I love you thinking about a new writing project. I love hope.
A LOT of people haven't written two life-changing books. So, I feel like you're doing okay. I cannot think of an author who has influenced my teaching career as much as you have. But, if you want a new project, then I want that for you.
