It's late. I've been working on this piece of writing all evening, and I've got one more meaty sentence to finish. But I feel like Cinderella over-staying her curfew at the ball, because every time I try to write that last sentence, it turns into a pumpkin.
"A comparison of A & B would be interesting."
Interesting? Yes, I'd find it completely fascinating and I'd love to do the work. But a hanging "interesting" is hardly going to move the reviewers, so I know I need to come up with a more compelling argument for the work. But all I can muster is:
"A comparison of A & B would be interesting, for f**k's sake. Eleventy!!!1!!!!1!"
I think Robert Boice's AFNFM advice to "stop" might actually have some validity. And I think I need to lessen my reading of Comrade PhysioProf as a procrastination measure.
My brain often kidnaps whole paragraphs and demands a ransom of a nice hot shower. It's a really good thing my landlord pays the water bill.
Thanks for the fucking link, darling!
"A comparison of A & B would"
would what? constrain variable X? Solve problem Y? Open up field Z for further discussion?
It has to be interesting for a reason.
Maybe you just need a break/bath/walk/good night's sleep?
I think this is a time when you should follow Boice.
Good luck!
