Paper!

Hoo! One day, a late night, lots of fruit and tea, and that's the first draft cranked out. (Well, there was a week of general preparing for it in my spare time, but there you go.) That's sixteen pages of TeX, people. And now my eyes hurt! (Though Optrex helped.)

The plan now? Well, tomorrow I won't have anything to do with it, for reasons of health. (I intend to read `How To Write Mathematics' by Krantz first. Not that I haven't written plenty of mathematics before, but I've never been in a research-paper headspace before.) I'm going to draft research statements instead. That'll be hilarious. Oh, and there's a lecture to give as well. Ah, fun!
