Hello again. As you can probably tell by the title, I have an update.
Part two of the football and slavery post will be delayed until August or September. I have been working on it for far too long because of various factors that had come up, such as a hospital stay and bouts of anxiety and depression getting in my way.
The next post will be up within the next couple of months, based on my process. I use JStor and other free scholarly websites to gather my information. I see this as a creative limitation, because I can easily pay for sites that have much more information, but I don't because of the subscription fees being so high collectively, and because of the next part of the process. I like doing the research in an outline form and answering the post's thesis question by question. I like the process more than the intended result. I like the chase more than the kill. As outlined in my previous update, I like to take my time to make sure that I gather all of the right details and construct everything correctly. Plus, I only give myself a couple of hours per day to work on my posts, contributing further to the delays.
If you are an employer, please note that I would gladly take this article-writing passion into your writing establishment of choice. My passion is found in the research process, which for you may include interviewing and field research. The writing and compiling part is my forte because I always liked writing essays as a student. I may be a student again if I end up going back for my degree in journalism, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
Thank you for your cooperation.
