May's goals:


• Find 2-3 more panelists for annual conference panel
• Read two big items for each of two new book sections
• Finalize all existing book sections
• Write two more book sections
• Start revising Grumbly Paper

Stretch:



• Start any number of new book section
• Touch up and resubmit Collaboration 1
• Touch up and resubmit New Paper (well, it's almost two years old, but still doing the rounds)
• Read an item or two for Collaboration 3

Today: the book section work I didn't manage to do yesterday.

Grades are due in a couple of days, so research is coming back to the top of my agenda after a couple of weeks completely away from it. Here are my May goals:

• Work on polishing up paper #1 in preparation for first submission to a journal
• Work on polishing up paper #2 in preparation for first submission to a journal
• Start working through data that my RAs have spent the last six months or so collecting
• Start outlining new paper with senior colleague
• Identify a new project to start working on - preferably something solo

Got an R&R back today for the last paper I wrote last summer, and which I continued to fix up into this school year. The comments (from three referees) are great, but require extensive work to address.

I'm happy and all, but it would have been nice if any of that could have been raised any of the four other times it's been submitted in the last year, instead of rejections without comments (but not even desk rejections). I'd have liked to start on revisions like these before the hatchling hatched. /grumble

So, anyway. I'ma add that to the to-do list for May (and June, and maybe even July).

Finally I can contribute and think that things will get done!
May:

• Finish grading all student work (~130 major items and some small things)
• Start applying to jobs (1-2 a week after grading is finished)
• Clean up citations in rough chapter of next book
• Draft second chapter of next book

Congrats on the R&R! Plus, I am amused with "Grumbly paper!"

Hi, all! Hope it's ok for a newbie to join. I'm starting sabbatical and could really use the accountability and camaraderie. I'm used to working in the office with colleagues who are great for a chat or a coffee break or a writing power-hour, but I'll be away at least for the summer. Hope everyone is having an excellent weekend!

May Goals
- finish drafting Part 1
- send Part 1 to friendly readers (May 12)
- have research student compile master bibliography
- begin revising Part 2 (4 sections/day)


Long(er) Term Goals
June 2: finish Part 2, begin revising Part 3 (4 sections/day)

Book section work today.

I've gotten good bits of work on the Ppt for Monday's talk, but there's still more to do...a lot more...but at least I found the one article I really, really REALLY needed, and have gotten helpful feedback from two of my favorite liturgical gurus.

Welcome!

I got busy and dropped out of the April thread, but I also just realized it's a new month so I can start over with trying to post in these. Today I created most of a budget for a grant proposal.

Welcome, alcibiades!

I was a very efficient grader this morning so I managed to review two articles this afternoon! Go me! Subfield colleague texted me that hu's GA had finished our transcripts, so I need to take a look at those and start analysis. Tomorrow I am going to finish my first review of transcripts for the special issue project. I worked on the research brief a few minutes ago and sent it back to my colleagues.

Book section work today.

Did it, though not as much as I'd have liked.
