May Research Thread

[Sun_Worshiper]

What are your goals for May?

I'm hoping to make progress on the following in May:

• Book project #1 - draft chapter 2
• Book project #2 with colleague - update proposal and submit it with chapter 1 to interested editor (ball is in colleague's court)
• Paper #1 with colleagues - finish and submit to journal
• Paper #2 with colleague - finish and submit to journal (ball is in colleague's court)
• Paper #3 with colleague - it would be nice to get the ball rolling on this, but it is lowest priority

I have an invited contribution to write for June, and more progress to make on my translation. And that's it! Whew. Finally a month with a low workload!

Today, just my translation quota, I think.

I became quite the multitasker today. I submitted a manuscript review that I thought I would not get to until Thursday. Yay!

I did my bit.

Just translating today, probably.

Tripled my quota and wrote 400 words of the June paper. Tired now.

[Parasaurolophus]

Just translating again today. Anything more is a bonus.

Just translating again today.

That's what I did.

[Parasaurolophus]

Translating, plus some writing if I can work up the energy.

Translating, plus some writing if I can work up the energy.

Doubled my quota, and did a tiny bit of writing that led to finding several useful sources and reading two of them.

I never intend to add more to my plate, but a call for chapter proposals came out today that might provide me the opportunity to write with my spouse for the first time! Hu is not a researcher or an academic, but is an expert in the topic. Hu seemed willing to entertain the idea, and luckily the submissions only need to be an abstract initially!

[Parasaurolophus]

Go for it!

Just translating my quota today.

Exceeded it nicely. I might possibly be done by the end of the month, if I push it. That'd be nice.

I completed the second review late last night, much to my surprise (I had a motivation to complete something on my to do list).
