• a book to read for review
• a book proposal to finish — I’ve had some ideas
• a conference paper to convert to an article
• a secondary bibliography to annotate
• two chapters to write for companions — lots of ideas for one, no further than Christmas for the other
• an overdue biographical piece to write — submitted 
• an article that’s been bounced from a special issue but has been taken up and needs another thousand words adding
• a book manuscript to rescue — I printed out chapter one…
• a  submitted chapter that I’ve heard nothing back on — chased
