Dear Summer (Part 3)
July 27, 2006 by Marc Lamont Hill

As many of you know, I have forgone the many pleasures of summer in order to complete some major writing projects. Unfortunately, personal tragedies, stress, writer’s block, summer school teaching, and an unexpectedly busy speaking schedule all conspired to make me less productive than expected. A few weeks ago, I asked you to send your prayers, thoughts, and other good energy in order to help me regain my swagger.
It worked.
While out in Chicago at the National Hip-Hop Political Convention, I was able to complete 95% of a major chapter in the snitching book. Although the book won’t be done by September as hoped, it’ll be well along the way. Also, Columbia University professor Lalitha Vasudevan (my dear friend and colleague) and I are putting the finishing editorial touches on Media, Learning, and Sites of Possibility this week, which should be out in the early part of 2007.
Overall, I’m about 4 weeks behind schedule based the plan I made in May. Nevertheless, I’m picking up steam and hope to make up some ground in August.
Thanks so much for your help! Keep sending the good energy!!!!!!
