At least this has been my average, when starting just with an abstract and a title. Obviously, it's different when one is cutting down something from a longer work. But this is part of the reason that I didn't beat myself up about the internal deadlines, as I knew that I could let my ideas germinate for a bit longer and that I'd still be within the range of "normal." I'm all about the pretend ambitious deadlines with a "real" deadline in mind. Also, I think it helps that I'm much more in sync with my schedule than I ever was in grad school, and that I don't have the pressure that one feels as a grad student mucking up the process. It's a *lot* easier for me to be productive and to send stuff off now that I don't have the same kind of angst I did in grad school.Dr. Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457967076373916629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-55797177374500250502008-06-11T20:45:00.000-04:002008-06-11T20:45:00.000-04:00Hooray for getting the article out!

I never can tell how long something is going to take me --- or more precisely, how long something is going to take for it to be both done and good.Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-29572235224599968572008-06-11T20:12:00.000-04:002008-06-11T20:12:00.000-04:00Congrats on getting the article out.
