September Research Thread

[Parasaurolophus]

One of my R&Rs was accepted with minor revisions, so that's nice.

I think today is mostly for the conference paper.

Interrupted day. Did a bit of translation checking instead.

Definitely the conference thing today.

Only managed ~400 words, but I think I've finally found the thread I'll pull.

I should try to make some measure of progress on the review and the conference talk. But I might also start on those minor revisions for the accepted paper.

Ugh. Once again, although this is supposed to be a day when I have more time to do stuff, my time was severely encroached upon. It's not a big deal, but it's starting to make me a bit jittery, because it's been basically every time for the last couple of weeks. It's hard to get things done when I have so much less time in which to do them.

Still, I managed to get the book review almost done. I just need to tidy it a bit and cut a couple of hundred words, and it's good to go. I didn't think I'd get there before the end of the month, so I'm not doing too badly despite everything.

I'll finish my review and see about the conference talk.

Well, I finished and sent it, at least.

September goals:

• Submit proposal and three chapters of book project #1 to the publisher for review (top priority)
• Make progress on book project #2 w colleague
• Make revisions on paper #1 w colleague, in light of conference feedback
• Make revisions to paper #2 w colleague, in light of journal rejection feedback, and try to get it off to a new journal
• Work on paper #3 w colleagues and try to get it off to journal for a special issue with tight deadline
• Develop and submit proposal for book chapter w colleague

I submitted book chapter proposal today and it looks like paper #3 will be off tomorrow (it is off my plate, in any case).

I also managed to get back to work on book project #1 after a short hiatus. Hoping to get in the zone on that in October.

Looking at my minor revisions today.

Looking at my minor revisions today.

Completed all but one of them. I gave the last one some thought and know what I want to do, which shouldn't be too much work but will require me not to be sleeping the hatchling and typing one-fingered.

Monthly report:

• • Finish revising invited chapter.
  • Finish report on PhD thesis
  • Start work on October conference talk

Reach:

• • Finish intro to solo translation project
• Write book review.
• Finish book proposal for solo translation project
• Revise an article and submit it somewhere

A pretty good haul, all in all. I didn't expect to get quite so much done. I made a lot of progress on the solo project, too. It'll be ready to send soon.
