Today I have been reading and I must still write for 30 minutes.
Things left to read include two recommendations from the Spanish Professor, one from the Prose Doctor, and one or two from me in the same thread. I must also continue to reread the Julio Ramos book.
I still have to do final editing on my other article, and write my NEH letter of intent. I have to write two letters of recommendation. And I have to apply for some things within the university.
I must finish doing some other student related things and also reacquire running skills, work on the yard, and work on exterior paint.
Axé.

It’s endless. I had forgotten about Estelle Tarica, too. She wrote this

but then this, which does not say what I do about Vasconcelos but which I may have to contend with. http://books.google.com/books?id=ay3OEHLRbqQC&printsec=frontcover&dq=estelle+tarica&hl=es-419&sa=X&ei=aPqrUZzVEef94AOFxYCIAQ&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA
This coming week has 30-minute writing sessions as well, except on Thursday. Did not say to writing group as it is too long, but below is the general plan. It makes for too long an article. I am hoping to make this two articles, submit two. We will see. One is good enough but I want to be sure it is IN by the time the writing group ends and the other, started.

Looking ahead:
Week of June 10: Hoping to crank way up the first 3 days, 2.5 hours writing and 2.5 hours reading per day, 250 words per day. I am going on vacation Thursday through Sunday and might read but do not necessarily expect to write.
Total word count now: 721. Projected at end of this week: 1081. Desired Projected for 5 PM June 12: 1831.
Week of June 17: 2.5 hours a day, 6 days, 1500 new words; Week of June 23: 2.5 hours a day, 3 days, 750 new words; will have 4000 words then or 16 pages. Then 10 days of vacation. Then July 8, 15, 22, 27, 4 weeks, should be 6000 new words, 10,000 words total, 40pp., I should be able to cover it in this length or less. There will be 3 more weeks to finish and revise, so I should make it.
Do you have a problem with scope similar to mine? It sounds like you are faster about figuring out what size a project is. I keep starting things I think are small and then I discover that one paper is two or three, an article is a book, and so on. At the beginning of my career, it was the other way around; I’d have what I thought were good, big ideas, and discover that once I wrote a 10-page conference paper it was all over—I’d just written a little addendum to someone else’s book idea. I’m not sure when the change happened, but I think it was after a long period in which I could read but not write (physical limitations, not “block”). The enforced thinking time really changed me.
Many of my projects are too large and this is why they bog down. But yes, I am realistic when I disregard advice to “just do it” and so on. I don’t like to outline or storyboard but I do find it is good to have a general plan and I seem to be good at making them, by and large.
