Another foe vanquished


Progress:
  • Off goes the mosh piece, to a respectable journal. It's a good essay, and I hope it will be well-received.
  • Article reading. Far, far, more than one per week. 'Have read heaps of articles and chapters for the above submission.
  • Making forays into office organization, which comes recommended from a variety of places. Again, organization-for-productivity is generally part of the business success industry, but why not for academics?
  • On that note: Just placed the first file in the file cabinet.
  • Having just completed two pieces on feminist subculture, I have also produced--in fission--a third. This is my current mission: to finish and submit this latter piece. It is has the length but not yet the theoretical disposition needed for publication.
  • 'Have talked with two dissertation committee members about tactics for publishing. Both have interesting ideas.
  • I am seriously considering the submission of a book proposal. The drawback, of course, is that books require enormous investments of time. Arguably the same energy, applied to articles, yields more academic credit. At the very least, I'd like to get my key article off, before thinking about a book.
