Because I have so many varied interests, I have to set personal limits on which areas I'll seriously work on. Right now, I'm focussed on bryophytes and core plant articles. That doesn't mean I won't occasionally foray into other pages to add links, or won't add a new article on an interesting topic, but if I don't stay focussed my quality of work will suffer. I don't want that to happen.

I do really like the green template at right. When I first put it in, I had carried only one article through to GA status. It was so nice to know I'd written one whole good article. It was so self-deprecating.
