May writing challenge

[Puget]

Great to see all the writing happening!

I met my goal yesterday, and have the same goal for today-- 2 hours on paper revisions.

[darkstarrynight]

Today:

• 500 words of June Paper
• Moar research for June Paper

Done and done. Alas, the research never ends, but only ever points to more relevant material!

• Drafted 6,300 words on the special issue manuscript due 6/15 (with a 7,000 word max including cover page, abstract, and references, oops) but woohoo that is progress!

Hole. E-carp! That's fantastic!

Thanks! Your progress is great too!

Today:

• 500 words of June Paper
• Research call with friendly acquaintance

Also did a little reading. I'm taking tomorrow off (in addition to the weekend), though, because I start teaching again Monday and want a mini summer first.

Finish the longstanding paper (one more figure, write a section, construct a large table, then polish text).

Tick number two for the month. Finally finished this paper (started it nearly 6 years ago), and sent it off to coauthors for a final check over and an internal review process for one of them. Hope to formally submit it by the end of the month so it can get through the peer reviews before the fall portfolio review.

Tomorrow, it's on to reading one of the co-author papers (below), and finishing the grading that I'm meant to have done in a few days.

Grading now all done, and managed to slip in the new-coauthor paper to boot. Definitely making strong progress so far (first 3 done) - the question is will it continue? Sunday plan - finish my research narrative for external review and if I can start reading this Masters thesis for the end of the week. Need to get that monkey off my back before I can turn to the new stuff.

Welcome to a new week! Hope it goes well for everyone. My goal for today: address one comment on a review paper I am writing with a colleague.

[darkstarrynight]

I am weary of making writing goals when I have so many grading goals, but I am going to try so I can keep myself accountable. I did complete an IRB application Friday that I will submit once my co-PIs finish research training this week (they are all current or former students so they do not have up to date training).

Goal

• Work on last part of manuscript due June 15th by writing something, even if just a few words!

[Parasaurolophus]

I start teaching again today, so I have a small pile of lectures to record (ugh). That will significantly impact productivity. But, if I'm lucky:

• 200 words of Book Proposal
• 200 words of June Paper

Forgot to post, but I did make good progress on revising long neglected paper on Friday. This week I have to grad term papers, so I'm trying to keep my writing goals realistic, but I really want to finish those revisions. So, for today:

1. At least 30 min. revising long neglected paper
2. Results section feedback for MA student (this is really more mentoring than writing since I doubt we'll publish it, but I'll count it anyway)

Addressed all remaining comments on review paper, sent off the draft to colleague co-author, and am feeling very accomplished now.

Many, many unforseen teaching complications. I didn't get to any of this today. Sigh.

Done! Did close to an hour on paper, though everything takes longer than expected per usual. Ended up spending a lot of time putting together slides for our online department commencement since we were suddenly told we had to have them done by Friday (even though its not till the 26th). Didn't even get started on grading. It's going to be some sort of week. BUT! Made my summer term plan today in the writing group I co-lead, and  writing will go on in small chunks.

Tomorrow, a modest goal, which I will try to accomplish BEFORE grading:
At least 30 min. revising long neglected paper

My kind-of goal for today is to address one comment on the grant that I am planning to resubmit this summer. But I have Zoom meetings basically all day, so if I don't get to the grant until tomorrow, I will also be okay with that.

Another very busy day, but let's try this again:

• 200 words of Book Proposal
• 200 words of June Paper

Addressed my comment!
