Done it... ...takes a long time

This experience was pretty rewarding, but was quite a lot of hard work, and then even more jerking around with spelling grammar and all kinds of madness that only academic journals care about.
But seeing the article was cool, and knowing that I had made a contribution to a discourse made me feel like I was doing something real in the world.
In fact in retrospect I believe that maybe this isn’t as hard as it might seem and the key is to find the right place to be published rather than write a real ‘gun’ article.
