i’m really not feeling ready to start writing heavy stuff again after the dissertation and the giganto-manuscript. i feel like i pulled a writing muscle and need more time for it to heal or something. i don’t know.
grad mentor admonished me when i said i was tired of writing. said this is my job now! my reaction was something along the lines of, “oh, fuck.”
i’m pretty relieved that gigantoscript has not returned with an outright rejection yet… presumably, they’ve decided to review it. that means it’s off my back for a little while.
but now? it’s time to write some more. another grant application. and this is applicable to the blog too, i’ve really let this thing go in terms of pharmacology content.

I get wiped out too after a streak. I need time for my brain to solidify after turning to mush. If I try to force something out of mush, I get crap. I write when my brain feels like letting some gems go, which usually means the gems keep me up all damn night, morning, night, morning, etc.
Use the time to rest, or organize your paper collection, or learn how to run a program.
