#34

Today I have had what ended up as half a book writing day, with some 450 words written on my scientific monograph Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement. So far this Spring I have had 34 writing days, including 27,5 book writing days.

#33,5

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 half an article writing day, partly devoted to work on the revision of the book chapter manuscript "Steffens´ early outlook reconsidered: Nature conceptions of the industrial-age Anthropocene", with some 100 words added to the manuscript in the process. I have now finished the revision.

I also reviewed and gave feedback on a draft white paper based on our recently published book Mars and the Earthlings: A realistic view on Mars exploration and settlement.

So far this Spring I have had 31,5 writing days, including 5,5 article writing days.

#31; 13.000+ words written in March

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.
