at this point in time

It's time for a list I think. Here are the writing/research tasks that need to be completed before the end of June:
-revisions to a paper on helping during computer use
-revisions to a paper on transcription
-revisions to a chapter on restricted interactional activity
-paper for this this conference
-paper for that conference
A list always makes me feel that tasks are doable as does "biting off" a chunk of work each day. So, for now it is back to the revisions on the helping-during-computer-use article. One reviewer's comments have required me to go back to revising what I have said about EM/CA in the article. The information needs to be more accessible for readers who do not have a previous understanding of the approaches. The biggest task I will address is the question of the analysis becoming drawn out ("tedious" was the actually word used). An analysis of a long sequence presents those challenges for the reader and for the analyst. I will try to write over the current middle section analysis in order to draw out points that can be found in the data.
