I’ve decided it’s way too much fun just sending out ideas and proposals and not worrying about how the heck I’m going to execute them.

I may have given a somewhat wrong impression when I posted about my change of plans from New York to New Delhi because everyone keeps asking me to meet up. I’m still very much in America, and will be for the next month. I’ll be leaving earlier than most Visiting Scholars because I have to get started on work almost as soon as I land in India and that means I’ll be missing the commencement ceremony. But I’m not a student, so it doesn’t really matter. I’ve done what I came here to do, and I’m ready to head back.

Which means, of course, that I’ve been letting editors know that I’m once again ready to roll and take on assignments. And because I don’t immediately have to jump up and do them, I’ve been quite ambitious in my queries.

The good news? I’ve had a lot of interest. Interesting what you can do when fear doesn’t stand in the way. The bad news? I’ll actually have to pull this off.
