#manuscript
I was about to write my #review for a 30-page equation-rich revision in #JMPS edited by #elsevier. It was "overdue" by 2 work days (although, well, is Elsevier my employer to give me assignments?)
So I looked up the emails to find the link to their review thingy.
Surprise: I find in an unopened email dated 11 Sep, which I had thought was a reminder, the note:
"Thank you for reviewing the above referenced #manuscript. With your help, I have reached an accept decision"
A quiet #Vatican #Manuscript week with only 33 digitized

Includes a early work on Polyphony, a copy of Pliny made for Ferdinand and Isabella's son, some more 19th C Russian liturgy, and the triumphal return of Henry Stevenson, Jr.

I have no stream/creek to write about during the last several days - sad😥
But our manuscript got accepted, a bit of happy moment which does not last long…🤔
I also know that spending time (fishing etc…) in a creek provides me a happy moment, but it also does not last long…like a Chinese saying: if you want to be happy for a day, go fishing…🤔
BUT…although it is impossible to get my manuscript accepted every day, it is feasible to fish every day🤩
😮💨 sigh... Reviewer of my #manuscript wants me to cite a specific article. From 1988. Journal doesn't exist anymore. The PDF is absolutely unfindable. No DOI of course. Searching the title only yields a handful articles citing that paper. Authors are unfindable. Meh...

PSA: I am proud to announce that I am almost finished rewriting/editing my manuscript for republishing!
It is a romance poetry book titled Tranquility.
I will be posting separately for the synopsis and all the other details (such as when it will be published)!
Take care and happy reading! :)
Among some of the Swedish National Archives recently digitised documents is this Life of St Elizabeth of Hungary.

Turned a #manuscript draft into a colleague today for review. I am proud of it, but it's probably not up to par or something. It's hard to be excited when one constantly hears the old "Reviewer # 2" joke. 😵💫

Came across this in a folder on my computer and was chuckling about it again... this was doodling someone did in a big manuscript of pre-WWI #klezmer music collected by Zusman Kiselhof on the An-Sky expedition ... in my mind it was some kind of bored assistant in his office but who knows!
I came across it in 2021 while digitizing the music manuscripts for this project:

What's under the umbrella? Well, #newshistory, journalism from handwritten to printed to digital news, #maphistory, visual mapmaking by humans on whatever material, global #printinghistory, #manuscript usages, a trade focus on book flows, a reading history, and much more about communication flows and infrastructure usages with "books" of all formats and materials. Basically, #bookhistory is an overextension of many fields and approaches dealing with past communication flows and artifacts.

"Dot and Lindsey sit down with Yvonne Seale and Heather Wacha to talk about Soissons, Bibliothèque municipale, 0007, aka the #Cartulary of Prémontré. Prémontré was the parent house of the #Premonstratensian Order, an the cartulary contains legal documents related to the house and its holdings. In our conversation we talked about the house itself, people and events mentioned in the documents, and how the cartulary was written (and how it was changed later)."

https://journals.stfm.org/primer/2022/rodriguez-2022-0066/
"Five lessons to be learned from rejected manuscripts…: (1) rejections teach journal scope, (2) rejections teach process, (3) rejection should lead to resubmission, (4) rejections reflect writing effort, and (5) rejections happen to papers, not authors."

Attention #writers and #novelists I created this tutorial on setting up your #novel #manuscript in MS Word. This method allows you to quickly & easily change formats to the specifications of various agents/acquisitions editors.
