Writing, Writing Away

Back from Hawaii now and sick with Bronchitis (TRH has it worse, though, poor baby) and the second storm of the week is battering Welli! O gioia inexprimabile! But we do have anti-biotics and it does feel that a corner of some kind has been turned.

Anyway, I have been writing! Lots! And look at this:



It is a "Wordle" or word cloud from a section of my book. I just pasted the section (Unproofed! I hope there are not any spelling errors!) into the box at the website and this is what came right out. I am rather pleased with it. It is more than a little empowering to see what is there. Do click on it to make it bigger.

(I think my preoccupations may come off a ittlelay aygay? Yeah. Think so.)

I have also included some links for non-academics in the crowd to help them understand why I seem to go so slow at what I do. Here are
1)Daniel Drezner,
2)someone else he refers to,
3)and another,
4)and then still another piece from the third.
