Well, I didn't succeed in finishing the overhaul in time for the conference deadline, so I had to submit an old (far inferior) draft. REALLY frustrating, though in some ways inevitable. Even if I had finished the quick and dirty version of my new approach, it would still be scary to send it off without some polishing. I was using techniques and modes of argumentation that are new to me and I do not know how to evaluate whether I am successful in expressing myself.
And of course, the ultimate goal is publication in a top journal, not the conference, so none of this is for naught. But still, I feel flat, and I missed out on frisbee and yoga in the dash to finish, so have no opportunities for group physical activity to let off steam.
Grrrr.
