I had intended to start a new project in my Old English work. After making some progress toward it that I could show off in style, I'd then tell everyone about it. When my thesis theatre was new and fresh, I had told people I'd do something in the "poetry everybody knows and loves for the extremely specific value of everyone that includes Old English poetry enthusiasts" genre. Maybe "The Seafarer" or "The Wanderer" or "The Ruin". They're loved for a reason. Of course this also means they're pretty thoroughly researched and widely available, but I'm not trying to break fabulous new ground here, I'm trying to make things accessible in an enjoyable way.
