I had woken up at 5:00 and started working by 7:00 which I continued at full throttle until a meeting at 3:00. That meeting was hard to sit through. I don't know why I did! It would have been easy to make an excuse. I did get good feedback on my writing, though. Good, in the sense that it is always useful. It was frustrating - basically, "we don't understand what you're trying to say." and it should be "more accessible."
Always what you want to hear.
And. . .I was exhausted, so I didn't have the mental wherewithal to question and figure out what next steps I could take to address that. They did suggest I explain what postcolonial theory was.
You know, no big deal.
Aren't I supposed to be writing to other scholars? Yet, what they're saying is true: a writer's job is to make meaning clear. I admit, though, at times it would be nice if the reader would work a little harder. . .
