So what are the threads of research you are following? And if you care to name it, what's the project?

I wondered about this question for a few days. What is my research? What is my project?

I hear about books all the time from hubski and other sources. Then I ask my handy-dandy library to get them. So to discover the threads of research I am following, I checked the books that I've ordered from the library -- these are occasionally new fiction but are mostly books on science; technology; medicine; politics; and women and science, technology, and ambition. If I read a poem I like by an obscure author, I will find his or her books and ask the library for them. I'm lucky that I live two blocks from a library branch that is capable of finding almost any book.

What's the project? The project is always finding the next project. There's a shelf in a corner of my mind labelled Ideas for memoir-writing workshops or ideas for 'todayswritingprompt' or ideas for a good blog question or ideas to add to my teaching and workshops.

Gregory Charles, a Canadian musician and broadcaster once said "You can waste your life having dreams, but not having projects." Dreams are good, but projects are dreams put to work.

I have a big writing/editing project that has been looming for years ... I've made inroads into it. Maybe it's the wrong project... maybe I'll finally MAKE the space and time to approach it.

So as Humanodon said, Hubski, what are your projects? or if you had a project, what would it be. Thanks Humanodon for the question.
