I’ve written roughly 70,000 words, completed 15 interviews. I’m expecting to do four more in this final week of leave, and then I’m back to the grind.

I don’t usually apologize for a lack of blog activity, but it’s pretty obvious that if I’ve written this much while shopping the book around to publishers and preparing to go back to work, I haven’t had much power left in my brain or my laptop to write anything coherent about music or media. It’s been a while since I’ve had a spare hour to live-blog VH1 Classic or XM. But I’ll get back to it. I promise. Especially once someone agrees to publish this thing.
