Yatta!
So to speak.
Got another 15 min. x 2 under my belt, for a total of 45 min. Yay!
Still wading through the reading (it’s in Japanese so it takes a little time, although I know what I’m looking for and it’s not great long passages, which helps). But there’s some good stuff for the paper/chapter, and some other stuff I’ll be able to use in other chapters, so it’s useful work. I keep having to remind myself that writing can’t happen before reading - particularly since this is essentially ethnographic reading (BBS entries right now) that constitutes part of the ‘text’ I’m writing about.
So, with that, I’ll wish everyone a good Friday!

Yay - you really are sticking with the 15 minute thing. It’s quite impressive especially given that you’ve got a toddler AND a brand new baby at home… AND you’re keeping us updated. Brava!

I just caught up with the 15-minute plan. What a great suggestion. I’m glad to hear it’s working! That must feel SO good.

Some days it seems more doable than others, you know? But…hanging in there!

Thank you! So far, so good. It does feel good to at least be making some measurable progress, no matter how little.
