I contributed figures and other insights. The lead author could have done this on his own but was very kind to include me as a co-author from work I did decades ago. I'd have not done it myself. Feels like closure to that old work. I too had a block for a while. I had a huge burst of drafting a few months ago but just couldn't focus on it this summer. Finally had to lock myself in the office and ignore everything else to get it done. Told Mrs P not to bother me unless there was fire or uncontrollable bleeding. What's it about? Podrock, of course. "Nodular sillimanite rocks as field indicators to metamorphosed massive sulfide deposits". Look for it in an obscure journal not near you. It was the lead author that really moved the paper along.
