Grand Bibliography is officially “frozen”. 😁

Finished with old emails. The Manuscript is 1395 pages. The Grand Bibliography is “frozen” at 2732 sources. The next phase is the reconciliation of the Bibliography in the Manuscript with the shortcuts folder for the Grand Bibliography. This will include recombination of sources, especially web-based ones. So, the total number of sources will decrease. After that, any missing physical, digital, or “otherwise extracted” source material will be located and added to the shortcut folder. Then topic-area-corresponding shortcuts will be copied to the appropriate subfolders. The Bibliography of Cited Sources and Bibliography for Further Reading will be tentatively determined for the encyclopædia-set volumes. The upcoming days will be spent preparing for these next phases. So the next blog post will occur as an update on my progress by Sunday 13 September 2020. Until then, True Believers, Excalibur! 😎

Last Work Day in July. 😁

Back to 12 November 2017 in email. Grand Bibliography has 2545 sources. Manuscript is 1373 pages. Tomorrow (Saturday) is an off day. It will last through Saturday 1 August. My first work day of August will be Sunday the 2nd. So, until then, True Believers, Excalibur! 😎

Next to Last Work Day of the Month. 😃

Back to 12 November 2017 in email. Grand Bibliography has 2531 sources. Manuscript is 1372 pages. Tomorrow (Thursday) is an off day. So, until Friday, True Believers! Excalibur! 😎

Late Start. 😐

Consolidated a few sources. So the Grand Bibliography has 2513 sources. The Manuscript is 1367 pages. Back to 20 November 2017 in email. Once arriving at the oldest (dated 7 November 2017), the Grand Bibliography will be “frozen”. Tomorrow (Monday) is another work day. So, until then, True Believers, Excalibur!

It was a Good Day. 😁

The Grand Bibliography has 2462 sources. Back to 4 December 2017 in my email. The Manuscript is 1360 pages. Tomorrow (Tuesday) is an off day. So, until Wednesday, True Believers, Excalibur! 😎

First Work Day of July 2020. 😀

The Grand Bibliography has 2458 sources. Back to 12 December 2017 in my email. The Manuscript is 1360 pages. Tomorrow (Monday) is another work day. So, until then, True Believers, Excalibur! 😎

Productive Day. 😃

The Grand Bibliography has 2415 sources. Probably should determine whether there are more sources that can be combined, especially the web-based ones. The Manuscript is 1356 pages. My email is back to 27 December 2017. Only a “few” more to go, then I can finally “freeze” the bibliography. 😳

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is an off day. So, until Wednesday, True Believers, Excalibur! 😎

Summary of Current Strategy ✌❤🚀

My most recent tasks during my work or “on” days have been an attempted balance between checking source content for my physical copies of texts (sometimes overlapping with having them also in digital form); locating copies of any kind (physical, digital, excerpts) for the Mediæval Source texts that require it; and attempting to finish sorting my old emails (which contain sources and/or source links). I wish to “freeze” the Grand Bibliography ASAP; but it must happen at a logical juncture. Things are moving way too slowly for my taste. As I get all of the ducks in a row for the entire project’s structure, things will move much more quickly (in theory). This is a culmination of over four decades of research. It is also the first time that literally all of my notes and research have been put in one place. It is truly colossal. I am here alone, so I must do everything that needs to be done. Today is a work day, so I need to accomplish tasks. Look for my regular blog post later. 😎

Still processing … 😳😱😶

The Grand Bibliography has 2137 sources now. Eventually, each of the sixteen (16) volumes will have a Bibliography for Cited Sources, and a Bibliography for Further Reading. The manuscript for The Introduction volume is 1282 pages. 😊

Tomorrow (Thursday) is an off day. Until Friday, True Believers, Excalibur! 😎

First work day of February 2020. 😁

Still processing “current” emails. The Grand Bibliography contains 2119 sources. The Introduction volume’s manuscript is 1280 pages. 😀

Tomorrow (Monday) is another work day. So until then, True Believers, Excalibur! 😎
