Abstracted

I've finished the formatting changes on the article, but I need to write the abstract. I hate writing abstracts. The finished article is over 11,000 words exclusive of footnotes. It's kind of difficult to boil that down to 200 words. Bleh. I'm writing a draft version now and I'll let it marinate for a day or two, then rewrite it.

I'm just stunned that there's someplace that still publishes articles over 10,000 words (let alone exclusive of footnotes). Wow.

I'm with you on the abstract - it's always so much harder to write short than write long.

I was about to say roughly the same as Dr Notorious: where do you publish something like that? Believe me this is a problem I often have...
