This is the face that Peggy has been giving me over the last week — the first of my book leave for what will (eventually) (soon) become the millennial burnout book. The only way for me not to freak out about the prospect of writing a (first draft of a) book in three months is to methodically organize the labor. For the first six weeks, I’m reading like a demon; first the second six weeks, writing. I don’t know how I’m going to organize the writing yet, but if there’s one thing I really, really learned in grad school, it’s how to tackle an ENORMOUS AND EVER-GROWING PILE OF READING ON A DIFFUSE TOPIC.
