Fall 2015, the Sabbaticalization: Days Twenty-Eight and Twenty-Nine

Just about at the end of the month...and the chapter.  I'll try to write something more substantive about the process tomorrow.

1) Reading: Finished Hall, read some articles, continued with Thornton Abbey (which might have been more interesting if it were Downton Abbey, I suppose), started reading Teresa Michals' Books for Children, Books for Adults.

2) Writing: 600+ words, in addition to footnotes.  Most of this was in the middle, as I realized that one of my Big Points needed context in order to make sense (amazing how that happens).  Life would be so much easier if everyone learned about the intricacies of Protestant infighting in the post-Reformation period! I mean, for me.

3) Miscellaneous: Schlepped off conference paper proposal #2 (which I managed to send to the correct conference); agreed to present something at the upstate NY Victorianists' reading group later this month; contemplated an invitation to write something (which I'll accept, although I can't do it now).
