beat me to it
I just spent some of this afternoon working on my essay for Lisa’s Placeblogging Project and felt good about it, considering I felt sinusy all morning and didn’t want to leave the house. Well I come home and find this excellent piece already written about the same topic I’m writing on: “Blogs are building community while rebuilding Big Easy.” While I know the heart of my dissertation is the same topic, that at least will throw in some trauma theory to academic-tize it 
.
The Placeblogging piece will have to be revised now to make sure I am not framing things in the same way, which shouldn’t be too difficult considering it’s an expository essay and not a newspaper story that surely had its limits in terms of word count and personal voice.
Actually, I look forward to the challenge!
