My one like 12,000-word paper was burning me out, since I had a full draft, but I then had to go back and densely add in all of these footnotes combining all of these different areas of scholarship and all of these books and articles in all of these different languages that I needed to go back and re-consult.
Meanwhile, I had a big list of potential blogposts and articles that were driving me crazy since I had the major ideas and various subpoints outlined in my notebooks, but I was making no progress on them at all beyond having those outlines.
So, for a like a week-and-a-half, I was just like "Fuck it," and I just used my weekly writing hours to go and pound out rough drafts for my long list of potential projects, since that's the writing that I felt like doing, and if I did that, I could then keep them in a folder to tidy up and footnote later.
And, that writing went quickly, which was very, very nice.
But, I now have like 30,000 words of draft that need various levels of footnoting.
Erp!
