#8,5; writing plan for Autumn 2026

Today I have had an article writing day which I have mostly used for planning. I completed the writing plan for Autumn 2026, which amounts to 13 book writing days and 17 article writing days, and altogether 30 writing days. This is not so much altogether (in comparison, I first planned for 45,5 writing days Autumn 2024), and involves less time for article writing days than I originally hoped for. That is partly because I am working overtime this Autumn with extra course coordinator, teaching and grading duties, and partly because contributing to the production process for my forthcoming book with Bloomsbury Academic, Carbon Capture and the Future of Environmentalism, takes more time than I first planned for (as it turned out during checking of copy-edited files). I have adjusted article writing plans for this Autumn accordingly.

I also did a little work related to an article in process on a culturally sensitive Human Development Index (CSHDI) which I am co-authoring.

This brings the number of writing days this Autumn up to 8,5 including 3,5 article writing days.

#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. 

#33; peer-review of CCS and climate book received

Today I´ve had what ended up as half an article writing day and half a book writing day, upon receiving, at last, the peer-review of my book manuscript Carbon Capture and the Future of Environmentalism from Bloomsbury Academic. I have today reworked writing plans for May and June considering the revision work I will now start with. Moreover, I did a little work on my book review of Interpreting, Communication and Animal Welfare for Biosemiotics.

This brings the number of writing days so far this Spring up to 33, including 23 article writing days and 10 book writing days.

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").

#64,5

Today I have had 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. I also made plans for one final writing day in the end of the month. So far this Spring I have had 64,5 writing days, including 55,5 book writing days.

#10,5; Spring 2025 prioritized writing plan finished

Today I have had half an article writing day, with some work done relating to a prospective translation of my agent/agency review article, and some 200 words added altogether to my so-called UNDP letter and "Wasted GDP in major economies". I also finished planning article writing days for the rest of the semester (May and June).

Altogether this semester I plan 51 book writing days and 17,5 article writing days, i.e., totally 68,5 writing days (in comparison I planned 47,5 writing days in Spring 2024, and completed about as many, whereas I planned 57 writing days in Spring 2023, and completed 52,5). The main priority this Spring is finishing my scientific monograph Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement.

So far this Spring I have had 10,5 writing days including 2,5 article writing days.

Writing plan for 2017 and beyond

Today I have made a writing plan (book projects) for 2017, with preliminary plans for 2018-2021. Notably, I am taking a break from Utslippsfrie nye verden? Hva debatten om gasskraftverk sier om norsk natursyn, on CCS, to make room for the wolf-themed book I am co-writing this Spring. In parallel I´ll write on my novel Regnskap, as I have the last half year, until the summer (with another novel waiting in line this Autumn, along with continued writing on Utslippsfrie nye verden?).
