I had intended to try to get the Eusebius book out in September. I have just realised that this must be impossible.
I have quite a list of things which depend on others. The Greek can’t be proof-read any sooner than 20 September, and it may be later. I can’t proceed without the approval of the Sources Chretiennes, who are all evidently on holiday. Coptic corrections will be needed; and then corrections at proof. There needs to be a book cover, there needs to be a website, and all manner of other things.
If I have to hunt for jobs in September, as I do, then that will interfere. And if I start a job, for the first three weeks I won’t be able to do anything else. Starting a job is very stressful, without having urgent corresp
So … we may as well all relax. If it comes out in December, so be it. It will take as long as it takes.
That’s the beauty about re-discovering ancient books, a few months isn’t such a big deal. Everyone knows how hard you have worked on this. We can wait a little longer.
I appreciate the support!
A few more months is not a big delay – many know that a book project sometimes take years to finish.
