Today the countdown begins!  31 days until Don’t Make Art, Just Make Something is officially launched.

Mairead’s Something:  A Finished History Thesis

I thought I’d start off May Something with something from my lovely sister, Mairead, who has sat through multiple emails, drafts, and phone calls while I worked my way through writing this book.

Not only that, but she was writing her own thesis on appeasement during World War 11 at the same time.  Just see how official she is: http://today.uconn.edu/blog/2013/04/class-of-2013-mairead-hynes-future-history-professor/

When she sent me this picture yesterday te email was titled “I really made something” and she wrote:

“I don’t think I really understood what your book is about until I was holding my thesis, on paper, all forty pages, 15,643 words, and 125 footnotes of it, thinking… *I* made that.”
