thank you. He has a contract with a major publisher and owes both me and Thomas: "I discovered you in grad school back in '09 or '10, and really settled into a good writing life during my dissertation, in part, as a result of reading your blogs."
Thanks for posting this. Helping people "settle into a good writing life" while writing their dissertation is a very big part of my motivation for blogging.

And now I'm getting some really good research done, and there is no stress attached to the process.
