Should have been more
Things I wrote from September to June:
- Nine mini-essays on aspects of global food sustainability.
- A long essay on prefaces in 19th century American works about the Middle East.
- The outline of an essay about Sufism, American transcendentalism, and Arab-American literature.
- An introduction to a collection of emails between me and people I’ve never met in person. I angled it as “teen girl talks to older men”, which was true but irrelevant and amusing.
- A personal essay about fruit.
- Three short essays on Latin American modernist writers.
- Four art gallery reviews.
- An essay about an obscure part of Glendale.
- Eight or nine poems.
- A report on hookworms.
- A linguistic analysis of Max’s attitudes toward Valley Girl and Surfer dialects. Disputed, naturally.
- Several “explications” of passages from Paradise Lost.
- Part of a long personal essay about my high school experience.
- A few thousand emails as the voice of del.icio.us support.
Compare to the beginning of the year.

So when does the platypus book come out and how long until the special edition 'jeweled' one is released?

I do believe you've written more than I have. And I think that what you've written seems far more varied and interesting than what I've written. :P What obscure part of Glendale?
