I finished revising the article yesterday and sent it on its way. Even if they're not able to use it, I’m glad I went ahead and submitted it. It’s encouraging that someone wanted to know more about what I had to say, but the big thing is that it finally got me over the hump of sending something out. It doesn’t seem like some mystical thing that Other, More-Grown-Up Academics do anymore. Now I’m thinking perhaps I can whomp this other piece into shape and get it out the door before the semester starts.
