Today's task? A one-day spit-and-polish session with the draft of this article: cutting, wordsmithing, standardizing citations, and doing a few global search-and-replace edits.
Then -- no matter what shape it's in -- I'm firing it off to my colleague for her to take a look at.
My goal is to have this out the door by end of day on Friday. I think that's doable, given the other obligations of this week. The journal I have my eye on requires blind submission, three hard copies, and it's also going to get a well-crafted cover letter because I think that helped my last article: it was one of only 5% of submitted pieces that got accepted by its ultimate home.
I'd rather play today -- or rather prepare for my upcoming trip to Munich and Salzburg (about which I'll blog soon, as it's ultimately writing- and work-related).
But that will have to wait until tomorrow.
