November Research Thread

[Parasaurolophus]

I'll finish tidiying the new translated bit, then... something. Maybe some work on the paper I'm fixing up and extending, maybe some reading for the new book or something.

Done, then I did some reading which led to some other reading which led to some other reading which pointed to a treasure trove of sources which will really, really bolster the point I want to make. So I sent off some ILL requests.

A little work on the paper today.

November goals:

• Make progress on paper #1 with colleague - decide if/how to move forward
• Make progress on paper #2 with colleagues - it would be great to send it off to the next journal on the list, although the ball is largely in my colleague's court
• Make significant progress on book chapter with colleague that has December due date
• Make progress on my own book project

A little more on the book chapter today. Waiting on collaborators and my RA for the other tasks.

A little work on the paper today.

Only wrote a few hundred, but I cleaned up a couple of sections nicely.

I'd like to make more progress on fixing and expanding that paper.

I started working on a new chapter of my book today. So far I've just done some outlining and written a couple of paragraphs, but I hope to do a bit more before I run out of steam. And starting is the hardest part for me, so it has been good to get the ball rolling.

Everything else is on a co-author's desk at the moment, so I can give this a good amount of attention for now.

Met with a plagiarist in my office hours, which took forever. So less got done than I hoped. But still, I wrote a few hundred and did some reorganizing.

[Parasaurolophus]

I'll aim for more paper progress today.

Acceptable progress.

[Parasaurolophus]

More article progress, will also read some fun stuff for the book project.

I worked a tiny bit on my book manuscript chapter 1, but I really need to be better about blocking my time for this.

I did some work on Paper #1 today and sent it back to my coauthor. I'm going to take a quick break and then try to spend a couple of hours on my book (continuing to chip away at a draft of Chapter 5).

The paper is almost there--it's almost a good short paper. It'll just need some tidying and gussying up.

[Parasaurolophus]

Just tidying the paper today. Don't expect to manage to do much of that, but still.
