#30,5

Today I´ve had an article writing day devoted to my book review of Interpreting, Communication and Animal Welfare for Biosemiotics, with some 350 words added to the manuscript. Moreover, I discovered that my forthcoming book with Bloomsbury Academic, Carbon Capture and the Future of Environmentalism, is now featured by Google Books, although no publication date has yet been set. This brings the number of writing days so far this Spring up to 30,5, including 21,5 article writing days.
