temporarily mentally paralysed

I have received reviews on the articles I have submitted to Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication and New Media and Society. The reviews are really useful, and I am so satisfied with actually being invited to re-submit (though of course, no guarantees of publication). Drawback: too many things happening simultaneously. Ok, the article that I need to send in to the aoIR-conference in September is almost presentable. Yet the article about changing rhetorics of the self that I'm writing for an anthology is not even close to what it should be considering I need to have a draft ready for the first deadline 25th of August. And then: re-writing two articles to be re-submitted.

I don't mean to complain. I'm finally beginning to feel that I'm qualified for working with what I do. I have frequently doubted my own academic skills, though seeing that I'm actually getting somewhere is rather motivating. I just need to get over this moment of being mentally paralysed and overwhelmed by the feeling of not quite knowing how to proceed from here.

Of course. I wasn't qualified for a PhD degree when I started. I'm not yet qualified. But in a years time I hope to be. That's the whole point, right?
