Paper take one is done. I just need to go back and resolve all the places where I put "[insert quote here]". I don't think I'm going to manage to work Mulder into this paper in a plausible way, after all. :)

Paper writing is a pretty organic thing for me. I don't outline. I don't write things out on paper first. I just kind of jump in feet first, writing out part of the question, then going back and adding stuff in, writing introductions and conclusions last, and putting in stuff like [add the part about the whatsit here]. (One of these days, I'm going to manage to leave one of those in a paper by accident, much to the amusement of the grader. Let us hope that it's not when I write my thesis.) It works, and I do well. It's mildly haphazard, though, and I should probably develop better habits at some point.

    I did Not Prime Time this year, which made me actually write something for the first time since Yuletide. It was fun! It was also a lot more low key…
