On Procrastination: The Evil One
It’ll come as no surprise to anyone that I have a procrastination problem. As you may well know, I’m working on my PhD in English, which requires me to write a 200-250 page dissertation. My dissertation is mostly pretty awesome: my first few chapters explore the work of Tobias Buckell, Nalo Hopkinson, and Karen Lord; the last few chapters explore early Caribbean writings in dialogue with contemporary Caribbean science fiction (particularly Michel Maxwell Philip’s Emmanuel Appadocca and Mary Seacole’s Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands). Needless to say, I’m actually stoked about the project as a whole, even if I’m having the hardest time actually writing the bloody thing.
