During the course of the last two days the whole academic writing thing became a little clearer and a little more complicated. It turns that out that producing a few pages a day is as simple as waking up before John Paul and putting the keyboard to work for a couple hours. To help make that happen, I have been listening to the Sideways: Original Motion Picture Score by Rolfe Kent, drinking most excellent coffee, and writing. It turns out that academic style writing requires my complete and total attention. That only happens for a few hours in the morning. I used to be able to flip the switch at any time. That super power appears to have faded away. Today I may get two or three hours of high quality writing in before Super Bowl party preparations begin. We will be having a few people over to watch the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. The party will have a taco based theme and include a variety of snacks.
