Struggling to write a paper is worth doing?

The Covid-19 situation in Taiwan is now getting worse last few weeks. Taiwan was supposed to be an A student to save the island infection-free for more than a year. But now they are getting several hundred cases each day. It is still not a big number compared to the rest of the world but it is worrisome. It just starts the number zero and quickly has gone that bad.

This week, I focused on writing my manuscript. It was very hard for me. I have to continuously come up with logic to understand physics and make everything consistent with other findings. In general, I feel these days, people can access many more papers which are related to the subject. The number of paper you need to cite are higher than before. Usually, journals suggest what to read when you read something. That is a good thing but I can’t come up with a logic that is consistent with every paper I read. I need to do the research and I need to know as much as possible about the subject. I am having fun but I don’t have much time either. Anyways, I keep thinking about how to write and how to organise the paper in limited time resources.

Almost 10 years pass since I got a PhD in condensed matter physics. Even though I am not an English native speaker, I didn’t expect that it is still hard to write a paper. I hope the reason is the level of physics is higher than when I was young. But anyway, I want to write a good paper which means something to physics. As a physicist, I would like to write a good paper which people remembers. So I will keep working on it.

I will have a difficult experiment starting next week. I hope I can finish the manuscript early next week to get ready to perfume the experiment without any concerns. Anyways, this week almost ends. I will rest for now.
