Hello everyone and happy New Year! I am still working very hard on my novel and making progress on it, although progress in recent months has been slower than I had hoped. Despite being focused on writing my novel, I have also been working on a few drafts of posts for this blog, which I will hopefully post in the not-too-distant future.
I am also now waiting to hear back from the PhD programs that I applied to. Although it is still very early, the Graduate Group in Ancient History at Penn has already asked to interview me for their program. This is an encouraging sign, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that I will get into that program (or any other program), since they have invited me for an interview both previous times I’ve applied and I have not received an offer of admission either time. So far, I have not heard anything from any of the other programs.
You only need one acceptance…and you certainly deserve it.
I’ll read that novel once it’s published!
