I thought that, à la Michele Dion, I would give some reports on my writing progress (such as it is). If anything, it gives me something to blog.
I am currently working on a manuscript about Colombian democratic development. The working title is Voting Amidst Violence: Electoral Democracy in Colombia. I am currently under contract with University Press of New England.
Things go well, although not as quickly as one would like (indeed, I have already missed the original deadline…).
In terms of progress yesterday:
-I added five-plus pages to Chapter Three (although some of that was writing and analysis from last week).
-I realized that Chapter Two (on Colombian constitutional development) should be Chapter Three (which was a discussion of Colombian democracy).
-I wrote some notes (and text) for Chapter One.
-I made some useful notes concerning Chapter Four.
Indeed, it was a fairly productive day, and would have been more so, had I not run out of mental energy in the afternoon.

Has there ever been a writing project that went “as quickly as one would like”? Not for me.
And on that loss of mental energy in the afternoon, I feel your pain, man.

No, you are correct there (i.e., the “quickly” part).
And I am not sure what is more frustrating: not having time to write, or having time to write and losing all capacity to think.
