I've already moved on a bit from this work, which I did through last year. My thinking has too: what I need to write down already feels like old news to me because I've re-imagined it in a different formal framework that has better properties. This is such a trap and something my PhD advisor warned his students (me) to be wary of yet I'm still enthusiastically diving headfirst into it.

I have to confess that another dimension of this is the piss poor state of publishing. I find APCs deeply offensive and don't want to face them, but I don't intend to sign away copyright to a predatory publisher either. Something like 12 of my papers are in the libgen database and I'm not keen to stuff a 13th into the blender (then again, good luck trying to make sense of this one with an LLM lol). As a graduate student I found publishing a challenging but exciting opportunity to communicate with peers. Now I find it to be an onerous chore of navigating smarmy vampiric middlemen to get at the valuable things they unjustly control (distribution channels mainly). I feel compelled to publish this one in conventional-ish channels because it's reporting on grant-funded work and I think it merits, and I'd like to have, an archival record.

Wah wah wah. Like I said, doom loop.

    I have been poking at writing a paper since late last year and am stuck in a "I know it won't achieve what I want it to achieve" doom loop about it, which is an effective motivation sap. This has happened to me every single time I've written something for publication and I find it very frustrating.

    This is not really a call for advice--I have a thousand and one strategies, both my own and ones suggested to me by mentors and colleagues past--though I love to collect hot tips about how to write more effectively so I'm not opposed either. Mostly just venting because the other window is a blank page.

        It's Balloon Ascension Day.

        The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is definitely worth checking out if you ever get the opportunity. It was an annual tradition to attend multiple days of the week-long event when I lived in New Mexico.
