May writing challenge

[Parasaurolophus]

A fair few teaching activities need doing today, but:

• Write 200-300 words of referee report
• Tidy up §2 of June Paper

[nonsensical]

I have received comments from a colleague on a theory paper we are writing together. I will aim to finalize that manuscript today, although I haven't opened the file yet and don't know how extensive the comments are.

Finalized and submitted today!

Finalized and submitted today!

w00t! Congratulations!

• Write 200-300 words of referee report
• Tidy up §2 of June Paper

510 words of the report, tidied §2 of June Paper, and added 667 words.

This is one of those days when I have to upload video files which, because of the LMS's limitations, is a very involved process and takes forever. So, if I'm lucky:

• Finish referee report
• Tidy up some of §3 of June Paper

But I'll settle for finishing the report.

That is great news! I did a little editing on the neglected project and added some words. I am trying to get one co-author on the 6/15 paper to check the manuscript and then I will submit early next week. I also met with my research assistant via zoom today to go over her data analysis on our grant project. The grant term ends 5/31 and she will continue working with me on the manuscript after that unpaid (and she is great and I want her to get published)! Things are moving along!

Done, except that I titied §4 instead of §3. But hey, I didn't feel like looking at §3 today.

Thank you for celebrating my paper submission with me. The affirmation feels nice.

Yesterday was a mess, but I did make progress on the supplemental docs for my grant. Today my goal is to go through page proofs that are due right after Memorial Day and then try to do something for the long weekend that doesn't feel like the same stuff I've been doing for the rest of quarantine. Normally an extra day chilling at home would be relaxing for me, but not so much right now. My other option usually is to do stuff out in the world; there are lots of things that I would enjoy doing in the place where I live, but none of them are options are right now. I did make plans for a phone call with a friend, at least, and I'm looking forward to catching up with her.

Congrats on the submission nonsensical!

OK, I'm finally back to writing after a gap when I got sucked into the giant black hole of helping put  together the department online graduation and grading.

I'm going to make a push today and try to finish up the revisions on the long neglected paper, but first I need to get comments to my MA student on her thesis results section draft.

[Parasaurolophus]

Today:

• Add a tiny section to last month's chapter.
• Tidy up either §3 or §5 of June Paper.

Finished editing the proofs. Very ready for a long weekend.

Done, but not quite happy with either one.

On Friday I submitted the manuscript that is due 6/15, woohoo! I get anxious near deadlines and was very relieved to submit it this early! Now I have to give more attention to my neglected project; I have no excuses! Also, I found out an article I worked on with three scholars I really admire is in press and due out in July!

[Parasaurolophus]

Hmm. Let's try finishing §5 of June Paper today. It needs a bit of research in addition to the writing up.

Well. I worked on it extensively, but it's not done.

Congratulations! These are both wonderful things.

I am appreciating the rest I got over the weekend and am excited to dive back into writing. The student with whom I am working on the R&R that needs a few rounds of revisions sent me back the latest version, and my goal for today is to go through at least half of it.
