Back at it ...

the engineering project that has lasted 15 months is now over - imagine re-directing 50 - 60 hours a week to other things - at least for a while until the next contract role materializes - most of this available time and energy will be directed to completing the re-write of my Article Treatise on Morley Primes and the Morley Prime Number Sieve which unbeknownst to most of my visitors has undergone extensive re-evaluation - what to include and not - if you have written articles at any level you may well appreciate the challenege to condense months or a year of research work into a concise10-12 page summary - it can be done - but I have found my Treatise suffering from excessive detail to the point that the page count was exceeding 24pp. - far too large an article to get published so ... we re-write - the question you beg to answer has to be reposed until you get it right - so I am currently in the re-write phase and now have enough time + energy to not fall asleep at my desk each night after 10-12 hour days of work - at least for a short while - time to make hay while the sun is shining - the challeneg of course is to review all of the research work and attempt to condense it - no small task after 15 months of mostly peripheral attention - but I have already began to do this with good results and once you are in the flow of writing it simply pours out onto the page - there should be some sort of writing rule that if you are struggling to write a sentence a BIG sign should appear in front of you saying "you are going in the wrong direction" - but the previous momentum at times blindly TRIES to carry you forward and the vertical wall only gets higher - right now the flow is flowing so hopefully I can complete it - the back-half of the paper is complete and ready to go - it is the front-half that has undergone radical revision time and time again - primes being such a rich and deep topic what happens is you keep dicsovering new and interesting tidbits so new material develops for other articles ...  I already have a good basis for a new article but I have cautioned myself to STOP article writing hereafter and return to complete my Thesis post-haste as it has sat idle for far too long - 65% of it is now complete and the remaining 35% is a re-write ... stagnating papers - been there done that no thanks
