October research thread

[Parasaurolophus]

Today I'll have a look at the rejected reply and see what I can do about it one-handed.

October

Finish troublesome chapter 5 of Next Monograph. I know that last month I described chapter 4 this way. Yes, it's becoming a theme.

Lodestone Edited Collection has at last been sent out for review by a uni press.

Finish Research Fellowship Applications built around proposed Controversial Monograph.

Breakthrough! Despite a horrid bout of flu/RSV, I am through the roadblock and coasting downhill.

Today I'll have a look at the rejected reply and see what I can do about it one-handed.

I also revisited co-authored paper 3, and pruned it back by 5000 words (I liked what we said, but it was written for an outlet that rejected it, and real journals all have much lower word counts).

I thought I might work today, but now I've thought better of it. Oh well.

Pushed to get a 'loose ends' paragraph done.

Nap now.

Despite being on track to hit my stretch goal of 4,000 words, I was completely derailed last week and made virtually no progress. But I still achieved my goal of writing 3,000 words this month (actual total: 3,146). I'll take it. (And I skimmed a fantastic article this morning that I look forward to reading carefully later this week.)

I suppose I'll continue to rework the co-authored paper.

October goals:

• Finish and submit paper #1 with colleague
• Make progress on paper #2 with colleague - I'm taking the lead on the data analysis and will probably turn to this once paper #1 has been submitted
• Make progress on paper #3 with colleagues - ball is in colleague's court and this is low priority for me
• Make progress on paper #4 with colleague - ball is in colleague's court and this is low priority for me
• Make progress on R&R with colleague - due in mid-November
• Turn around desk rejected paper

This is the first month in a while in which I've accomplished all my goals - and then some, since I neglected to mention a few small items. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the momentum going in November, despite a bit more teaching/grading and Thanksgiving travel.

I suppose I'll continue to rework the co-authored paper.

Half done, should finish tomorrow.

October:

• Complete preliminary index for book (index sans page numbers).
• Send out Rejected Reply again.
• Re-work Conference Panel Paper.
• Make progress on 2023 writing commitments.

Not bad!

Emailed editor to 3xplain health-related delay, and ask about article status.

On va voir.
