And I also managed to finish the Mahabharata book; I am really pleased with how it turned out! The website is in good shape also. More information here.
Some students in the Indian Epics class have already been reading the Ramayana Tiny Tales book, and it seems to be working well, so I am very happy about that!
This week is going to be really busy because it's the first week of class, which is always hectic, and I have two Zoom things to do on Thursday; having them both on the same day is kind of intimidating, but maybe that makes it easier too. At least I only have to have Zoom stress one day this week! One of them is a discussion group on ungrading with some OU faculty members (I know a couple of people in the group, but most of them are people I do not know), and then I'm doing a microfiction workshop with the students in the #NetNarr class this semester that Mia Zamora and Alan Levine are teaching. I've known Mia and Alan for forever, but this is the first time I've done a Zoom thing with their students: I'm not even sure if Mia's class is a classroom class this semester or not, but Alan is in Canada, so he and I are Zooming in, either into Mia's classroom or into the Zoom space where so much of college is happening now. I'm not a fan of Zoom, but it will be fun to meet Mia's students and talk to them about the wonderful microfiction book that the students wrote in these classes last Fall.
I hope we will write a book this Spring too. Thinking optimistically, I already made a cover. :-)
