Now, I direct composition (and do a lot of other stuff) on a 3-3 teaching load, so I’m plenty busy; with the consolidation, I’m likely to get even busier. After a year and a half at ASU, I’ve discovered that I can easily have a full-time job without any scholarly reading and writing. If I want to write, that’s extra time. So it goes. I just need to squeeze it in, to get into a routine where I write on a daily basis, so this is where I’ll do a lot of that writing.

I’m not new to blogging, or academic blogging, but it’s been about four years since I’ve done so consistently. Most of the other bloggers I’ve known over the years have given it up since then as well. So, this should be interesting. How long can I keep this up?
