Now one of my big impediments in life is losing references, or not working them in in the right way. I hate not doing them as I go the way I hate so-called free writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-80903706066632074242018-03-06T08:26:19.102-06:002018-03-06T08:26:19.102-06:00I'm sure all serious scholars do this except m...I'm sure all serious scholars do this except me.
