What Is Next

Here is more information about what I’m going to be writing next.

It’s going to be nonfiction about Generation X and about these times we are in. It’ll be a blog at the start and I intend there eventually to be a book and for the two things to be largely the same but different. Like Alanis, I haven’t got it all figured out just yet.

For the purposes of this work, Generation X is everyone born in Canada or the USA from 1961 to 1981, and the era I will be focusing on starts on September 11th, 2001, and ends sometime in the future. GenXers range in age from 43 to 64 as I write this.

I’ve written before about the works of William Strauss and Neil Howe and their theory of a cycle of generations. This work will be informed by that, but not primarily about it. I will keep the generationhead lingo to a minimum and leave it out wherever I can.

I will do my best to not be restricted by preconception or stereotype. I will do my best to research conscientiously. Let the lamp affix its beam.

Every now and then there will be stuff about me. There are reasons for this. It’s intentional. But it won’t be a major ingredient in the stew.

And maybe we’ll have a little bit of fun along the way.

More to come!
