Day 3 complete

Finished my edits on the study area section.  Just 10 more sections to go.

Day 3

Hah!  Successfully set aside an hour in a very busy morning.  Here we go...

Update, day 1, fall 2016

35 minutes is better than nothing.  Intro is coming along...

Back at it

This worked in the past, so here we are again.  This week's paper is Mapping expansion of boom crops, and it is a fun one to work on.  Starting now, 9:24 am, for one hour.  Looking at the intro and methods.  Wish me luck!

Fall day 8 - Success!  Wrote and developed the discussion for the Western cities paper for more than an hour.  Hooray!  Need to work in a paragraph on similarities (reforms), and issues related to the data / methods.  Maybe more on that in a little while?  Would be nice to finish this up!  Is it cheating to combine the discussion and conclusion sections simply to avoid having to write another section?

Fall days 5, 6, 7 - Utter failure.  MUST start writing on the weekends.  With a new nanny in place, writing on Mondays should also be possible!

Fall day 4 - Getting a late start, but the discussion sections await.  Very unmotivated and unfocused today.  Maybe 30 minutes?  Ugh.

Fall day 3 continued - Ha!  Just wrote 800-900 words of the discussion for the Western cities paper.  Is it good?  Probably not!  But it's a start... More on the discussion tomorrow.  The goal is to just get something down on paper, and then maybe let Kurt take a crack at improving it.

Fall day 3 - Starting now.  Discussion section.  End of story.

Fall day 2 - 30 minutes nearly complete, and that is the best I can do, I'm afraid.  The head just hurts too much.  I will work on figures or references or something in the meantime.  Hopefully more writing later today!!

Fall day 2 - A brand new semester.... After Fall day 1 was a complete failure for writing (first day of class madness, and delivery of all outputs to the World Bank - a rather auspicious day!), I am back at it today.  I must must must finish the discussion of paper one from this summer.  This would likely be easier without a migraine, but here goes nothing.  It's just one hour.  It's just one hour.  Argh.  It's just one hour.

Summer days 71-96 - the UPDATE - Against all odds, I wrote for at least one hour every day during August.  The result?  A nearly complete paper #2 for this summer!  Hooray.  I took a well-deserved respite from writing during the last week of August (coinciding with severe jet lag, a sick baby, and my own illness), but am back at now that September has begun.

Summer day 70 continued - Well, that's it, 25 minutes complete.  Better than nothing.  Maybe tomorrow I will have results to write about regarding changes in different city sizes?

Summer day 70 - Paper two, again.  Not much to write yet, so I will brainstorm for the discussion section.  Writing now!

Summer day 69 - Just finished one hour on paper two assessing changes in nine footprints across China.  Not sure how much more I can write if I don't have results... 

Summer day 68 - Writing now... on paper #2!

Summer day 65 - Back at it!  Starting paper #2 of the summer.

Summer days 63-64 - Sadly, no writing.  I am in trouble, I suppose....

Summer days 57-58, 61-62 - Finished the paper!  Writing nearly all day, all four days.

Summer day 56 - Writing now.  I will finish this thing!!
