If you figure out how to be immersed in more than one project at once, tell us the secret.<br /><br />Earnest English--thanks! I love reading posts about writing, too, but I can't figure out why. These are second only to my favorite posts, photos of workspaces and desks.undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-11168531586561730692010-07-02T07:39:18.438-07:002010-07-02T07:39:18.438-07:00My big resistance is calling it "writing,&quo...My big resistance is calling it "writing," damn it! I swear to you, when I'm reading or taking notes or whatever, I'm getting scholarship done! <br /><br />Can I just say that this is the best blogpost title in the history of ever? Blog the scholarly work and resistance to scholarly work. These are my fave posts! These help me figure out what the hell is my problem, anyway!<br /><br />Veri word? Unwings.

I think I'd sometimes rather just swing from thought to thought rather than having to worry about supporting and justifying and locating my argument.Earnest Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947000435270263070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-52087126231634642992010-07-01T19:31:34.615-07:002010-07-01T19:31:34.615-07:00Today, re-reading my Zoo paper worked to pacify Re...Today, re-reading my Zoo paper worked to pacify Resistance. It made me feel smart again. I've been trying to work on one thing at a time, because I have a bad habit of abandoning things mid-stream because I spot a New Shiny (or just have a conference deadline coming up before I'm ready for it).

But that world would involve teaching a 1-1, I think.<br /><br />My captcha is "mingless." One letter off "mindless." Or maybe it's Gollum mingling.Dame Eleanor Hullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512884104691200975noreply@blogger.com
