I’m not fond of writing papers. At least, I’m not fond of writing the paper that I’m working on at the moment. I’ve reached the point where I’m trying to cut down its page count — why journals use a page count rather than a word count escapes me, as does the reason that many journals want authors to “type set” their documents in Microsoft Word. I need to cut out two more pages to reach a total of 25 pages, which I should hopefully have done tomorrow sometime.
It’ll be good to have this finished. I’m looking forward to getting back to working on my PhD.

The trick, my friend, is to write papers about your PhD … then you get two birds with one stone.
Well good luck with the paper!

Yeah. I need to start doing that later this year. I just really want to get this paper out, though, even though I’m hating working on it.
