what if reinvention leads to divergent evolution?



so today, in the process of reinventing myself, I stumbled upon a side project in which my area intersects with Hot Topic, and I simply cannot pass it up.  I know, I know, I SO should not be doing anything OTHER than writing this damn book, but there is a conference and special issue of a journal on Hot Topic in the next six months, so it is a short diversion, right?

Still it seems only fair I should harness the collective wisdom of my readers (who lack a clever moniker).  So should I stay or should I grow?

You have tenure-- you can afford to take risks. Do what you want!

I say go for it. You may be surprised and discover that having more you want to do makes it easier to get the book written. When my to do list is full, I can crank through it. When it isn't... well, I can be easily distracted at times!

I say go for it and plug your current book while doing it!

I think I am. I need to fast track this reinvention so when the right job in my area comes along I am primed for it

thx for the input
