15. February 7 – February 14

It’s been a busy week of writing – but even after I had to push back the deadline a few days because of the flu, I finally have a draft of the introduction and first chapter! Next, I’m going to have to make significant revisions to Chapter 2 and begin to read in earnest to prepare for Chapter 3. Below are a few works that I might start with:
