#35

Today I have had a book writing day, with most of it devoted to my scientific monograph Carbon Capture and the Future of Environmentalism which is forthcoming with Bloomsbury Academic. Specifically, I did some research concerning industry news and other news related to climate change and particularly carbon capture and storage (CCS), and also added some 200 words to the manuscript. Moreover, I rethought and updated the timeline for my long-term writing plan concerning my next scientific monograph, Being and Sign.

This brings the number of writing days so far this Spring up to 35, including 12 book writing days.
