bronwynrhWriting two manuscripts and a grant at the same time. And where's my muse? Oh, she left the building and went on vacation a few weeks ago. Bitch is probably sunning herself on a beach right now.
Writing these things is like pulling teeth without any Novocaine.
And to think I used to enjoy writing, too. After two years of nothing but, I've had it up to the proverbial Here with it.
*anguished scream*

Date: June 17th, 2008 05:22 pm (UTC)The two manuscripts are for a special journal volume and were due in, um, March? I'm not the sole holdup though, so I don't feel too bad.
The grant I'm actively working on is due August 5.
Just a big freakin' pileup O_o At this point, maternity leave is gonna be like a vacation!

Date: June 17th, 2008 06:50 pm (UTC)as in, i'm a doctor - how do I decide what drug and dosage of codeine/fentanyl/whatevr to give to my patient so that their pain is relieved and i don't kill them?
right now, I know whatever's out there doesn't include genetics, which is what I'm trying to build to.
there's something by Naranjo but I can't for the life of me find it.
basically, it's This is what pain mgemt looks like now, and here's what's missing. And the what it looks like now is where I'm blanking out. No good reason, just my brain isn't cooperating

Date: June 17th, 2008 07:24 pm (UTC)i've got two problems - does anybody use Naranjo's decision tree? Is there a more recent version?
There will be... *ahem* ... but I need to find if there's anything in between theirs and the soon-to-be ours.

Date: June 17th, 2008 07:59 pm (UTC)I'm currently writing papers, and grants too. I can't remember the last time I wasn't writing one or the other, especially grants. Science is now....writing
'the current methods suck, we can do better'
over and over....the fact that the last grant was to create super new, all singing-all dancing methods that now suck....and that they never actually got used, ever. Thats now irrelevant. Progress is doing 'new' things!
science is writing
Date: June 18th, 2008 12:20 pm (UTC)I could put that 'current methods suck...' line in everything I'm working on right now.
*sigh* I knew you'd understand!
