50! or: the end of a successful week

well well... it does help to set goals after all. i promised to write 10 pages this week, and that worked nicely. another 10 pages next week then...

i did realize that it is hard to spend each and every day writing. i think i wrote the bulk of those pages on 5 days, so ideally i'm going for 2 pages a day, 5 days a week and then having the other two days for editing. i seriously need to go through the whole paper sometime soon, to ensure that there's still a certain train of thought running through it. if not, then i need to fix that before i can really go on.

having said that, it is nice to be able to use a computer for all of this, as that enables some modular writing - meaning that if i need to, i can write something more or less anywhere in the paper and rearrange it later. certainly not the wisest thing to do, but better than not getting ahead.
