Writing

I just wrote a kick ass (IMHO) paragraph for my Science paper summarizing Fischer-Tropsch-type synthesis, it's potential application to Apex microfossils, and why my data suggests it's not applicable. For those keeping score, that's about 10 pages of dissertation into 1/2 of a page. And I think it turned out pretty readable too. Actually, the only reason I'm posting this is because I'm surprised how well it turned out...and how "strong" it turned out, since I'm basically arguing that the obvious answer doesn't apply. I guess we'll see how the reviewers tear it apart, though!

Now I need to write a summary/conclusion paragraph, but I need to take a break and step back for a little bit to think about what I really need to put down in it.
