First Draft In, Early
My first draft of my encyclopedia article is due on Tuesday, the fifteenth. Today I spent an hour and a half working on this first draft. I have emailed the two editors my article (with two figures and references list) and my contact sheet about an hour ago. What a good feeling!
I was debating whether to include all my middle initials, and settled on my given names, along with my surname initial and family name. As we prepare lunch today, Mom and I discussed over boiling (Anne Boleyn pasta?!) pasta the fact that as I get older, more of my name is important, as my maternal grandpa's cousin was a national hero. I talked to Marissa about it via phone while I was at the library, typing. She said if someone were to do a general Google.com search for me, they would find me, regardless of my initials.
For about half an hour before writing/editing today I chatted with Arif. He indicated how to make a faculty request to purchase a book (in my case, the encyclopedia). We talked about work, my surgery, and other campus issues. He expressed an interest in writing an encyclopedia article, too.
The current version (4) of my article and references list (version 5) have 3872 and 959 words, respectively. I expect Grace Y. and Edith C. to edit it down...
