#62

Today I have had an article writing day, with some 2900 words added to the manuscript while finishing (and then submitting) my book chapter "Ecosemiotic questions: Towards a comprehensive description of the complexity and creativity of life". This brings the number of writing days this Spring up to 62 including 35,5 article writing days.

This was the most productive writing day this Spring in terms of words written (not coincidentally, today was also my longest workday this Spring - before my summer vacation which starts tomorrow). Altogether I logged 15.864 words written in June, over 18,5 writing days (the most any month this Spring). This Spring I logged a total of 29.942 words written, which is more than any Spring since 2019 except 2020 and 2025.

Writing plan for Spring 2026 completed

I have now completed my writing plan for Spring 2026. I plan for a total of 59,5 writing days, including 45 article writing days (76%) and 14,5 book writing days (24%). This is somewhat less than last Spring (68,5 writing days initially planned) but more than Spring 2024 (47,5 writing days initially planned).

#0,5; writing plan for Spring 2025 almost finished

Yesterday, on my way back from New Year festivities with friends in Oslo, I had half an article writing day devoted to making a writing plan for Spring 2026 (January to June). I had previously made plans for January, and now made further plans for February until early June. I have to finish up today. 

This brings the number of writing days this Spring up to 0,5 (thus the title "#0,5").

#46,5; Spring summary; ca. 26.000 words written in Spring 2024

Today I have had a writing day, the final one this Spring, consisting of half an article writing day, with some writing plans made for the autumn and minor work on the editorial for the upcoming special issue of Biosemiotics "Umwelt theory and phenomenology" which I co-edit with Carlo Brentari, as well as on the second article on friluftsliv and child protection that I co-write with Joakim Jiri Haaland, and half a book writing day, with some work done related to my book manuscript Captured: CCS and the fight for the sould of the environmental movement.

Altogether this Spring I have had 46,5 writing days, with 2,5 of these being logged as book article days (vs. 7,5 planned initially) and 44 as article writing days (vs. 40 planned initially). Altogether I had one less writing day than initially planned (46,5 vs. 47,5).

With 1.709 words written in June, the least any month this semester, in Spring 2024 I have altogether logged 26.073 words written. This is almost 3.000 words more than in Spring 2023, but significantly below the ca. 36.000 words I wrote in the first half year of 2020 or the ca. 45.000 words I wrote in the Spring semester that year with the first half of July included.

Prioritized writing plan for Spring 2024, including writing days devoted to book writing

Today I have finished my Prioritized writing plan for Spring 2024, with plans for 47,5 writing days. This is somewhat less than last year (Spring 2023). I have tried to account for likely or possible travels in late Spring, and plan to devote an estimated 8 writing days for the book format (specifically, devoted to work with my book project Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement). This will mean that I have less time for article and chapter writing. If I am to finish that project over the course of the next one and a half year, I will have to devote even more of my writing time to this purpuse in the Autumn and next Spring.

#1

Today I have had this Spring´s first writing day, with some 300 words added to my article "Wasted GDP in the USA".

#45,5

Today I have had the last planned writing day this Spring, with altogether 45,5 writing days held. I did work on our GDP review article, with some 50 words written.

#49,5 - Spring 2021 totals

Today I have had another writing day, the last this Spring, as I account for it (January to July). I proof-read my Norwegian language CCS article "Karbonfangst i lys av generasjonsrettferdighet", amongst other things (the article is to be published in September).

Total number of writing days this Spring is up to 49,5 (vs. 52 originally planned). In comparison, I had 54 writing days in Spring 2020. I have written a total of 25.819 words (compared with 45.161 words in Spring 2020).

For the autumn of 2021 (August to December), I am planning 37 writing days.

Autumn 26th article writing day; 40.000 words written so far this year

Today I have had this autumn´s 26th article writing day, with some 5 hours devoted to revision work on my article "What can be known about future Umwelten?". I deleted ca. 1.100 more words than I wrote; reworked the disposition for the paper; drafted a list of planned figures; and searched for software for making academic graphics.

At 26 article writing days so far this autumn, the semester´s number of article writing days already by far surpasses that of the Spring semester (16 article writing days - I also had several application writing days). Next Spring even more article writing days is planned.

Year totals to date: 42 article writing days; ca. 40.000 words written in article/chapter format (ca. 14.361 words in Spring, 25.906 to date this Autumn).
