ceebeegeeI proudly present the debut of my new history blog--Cliopolitan. I concentrate on history but I bring in a lot of other humanities and arts (poetry, theater, etc.) Check it out, read it, "follow" it, comment and experience the transit gloria mundi!
I conceived of this idea last summer--the main purpose of this is as part of a larger effort to stack the deck for my grad school applications as much as possible. But I've also noticed another great side effect--it's forcing me to write a mini-essay every week and getting me back in the habit of focused, tight, purposeful writing.
Some of the entries on history I've written here will reappear there--cleaned up, tighter, with more multi-media. My LJ is more of an emotional dumping ground and and a "this is what's happening with me" and I don't really edit that much what I write here--it's not for a huge audience. But my history blog will be different.
