Tassez vous d'delà

jawnbcI seem to be crawling out of the black hole of last week. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
querrelle has been great, am doing a better (if not my usual) job of keeping perspective on things, and the physio has really helped the sciatica. The exercise I learnt today could be from a Pilates video. Or 70s gay pron. Choississez-vous
I've been very successful in my academic career 'til now. My MA and PhD theses have both resulted in peer-reviewed journal articles, I've edited a wee book, written chapters for a couple, self-funded the Phd and first post-doc. I've a contract (of sorts; really a willingness to review a manuscript) of a book, but have found no time to write it. Last year I published like made and felt like hawt shite; this last 6 months, nothin...and shite doesn't feel so hawt. Coincidence?
Throw in an international move, learning that queer marriage is in fact marriage (which, for me at least, is different from common-law partnering), and no longing having the luxury of geography to play down the career stakes: sad. Dis-moi.
Sorry for invoking Enigma.
Reading week is coming up and I've booked it off as holidays. This will allow for an orgy of Winter Olympics viewing, and hopefully some writing. I'm hopeful I can get a journal article on the Oz data out the door ASAP, then feel comfortable working on the book (which is framed on the same data). Once I get writing things move quickly. I have doubt about writing the book: if you want to both learn how to be a better writer as well as see your own work more favourably, get involved with peer review. I am solidly competent.
Mais ce soir on fait «happy hour». Sans alcool, dans le lit. ;)
