Today I have had an article writing day, mostly devoted to writing a brief popular science article for the magazine Astronomi published by Norsk Astronomisk Selskap. It came in at around 1.500 words, and I ended up titling it "Livet på Mars" (Life on Mars). The content is loosely based on our recently published book Mars and the Earthlings: A realistic view on Mars exploration and settlement. I also looked into a recent Live better manuscript submission (cf. previous post).
So far this Spring I have had 33,5 writing days, including 6,5 article writing days.

Today I have had a book writing day, with some 900 words written on my scientific monograph Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement. I also watched the webinar "Quantifying and mitigating subsurface risk in CO2 storage projects", organized by Finding Petroleum/Carbon Capture Journal.
So far this Spring I have had 31 writing days, including 26 book writing days. In March, I had a total of 14,5 writing days (possibly a record?), including 13 book writing days, and I logged 13.393 words written altogether (a new record in terms of monthly total as far as I can tell), of which 13.017 words written on my monograph manuscript.
