Day 1\u2014Monday:<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the things that I find difficult about tackling a long-form writing project like my dissertation is that I’m not a linear writer. I’ll start writing a paragraph about subject A, find that doing so gives me some new connections about the tangentially-related subject B, and off I hop to write on that… which means I end up with some rather disparate and inchoate chunks by the end of it all.<\/p>\n

This morning’s goal is to write a short section on the Picquigny, one of the families who were key patrons of the religious order which I study, and not<\/em> to bounce off to work on something else. If I get a new idea, I’ll jot it down and come back to it this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Session word target:<\/em> 500 words.<\/span> 534 words\u2014Goal achieved!<\/p>\n

Day 2\u2014Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday was spent translating some more charters from Latin and medieval French relating to one of the houses of women which I study, the abbey of Sainte-\u00c9lisabeth of Genlis. Today my goal is to write up information about those charters and to then go back through what I’ve written so far about Genlis and knit it together into a more analytical whole.<\/p>\n

Session Word Target<\/em>: 500 words<\/span>. 818 words\u2014Goal achieved!<\/p>\n

Day 3\u2014Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had high hopes for spending yesterday translating the last chunk of charters on Genlis\u2014given a whole day even I could get through two lengthy pieces of florid, fifteenth-century papal Latin, I thought. And then I caught two fingers of my right hand in an overhead garage door yesterday morning and had to spend several hours knocking back Ibuprofen and applying ice packs. No serious damage done, but it definitely put a dampener on the day’s productivity.<\/p>\n

With less translation done than I’d hoped, I’m going to work with what I have done for Genlis, and then switch to working some more on my overall chapter about patronage. Since the Friday morning session is the longest of the week, this seems doable\u2014and means I’m giving myself a larger session goal.<\/p>\n

Session Word Target: <\/em>800 words<\/span>. 1085 words\u2014Goal achieved!<\/p>\n
