Pages that may disappear...

7 September 2021: Made some good progress today on my MAPACA conference paper. It's interesting: the piece I wrote today is kind of the first act (after the intro) before getting to the heart of the paper. It's pretty solid, but I also realize it's precisely the kind of section that goes from two pages in a draft to one paragraph in a delivered paper--sacrificed to make room for another section. And yes, those pieces often come back when something goes to article length, but that isn't in my plans for now. So these pages are here: solid, done, important, but also impermanent. And that's okay. It's just part of the process.
