Okay, I'm in. I seriously need to get my writing in gear, and even though I'm still trying to do the tips from AFNFM, I'm finding I need an additional push to actually put fingers to computer and do anything other than email. So here are my InaDWriMo goals:
- Write the first draft of the Gender Paper from my dissertation, to be submitted to this journal CFP.
- Draft a paper on gender theory and literature outside of engineering education, with a colleague.
- Revise and resubmit this paper. I'm not sure how many words that will be, but I'll try to work it out and post a little meter thingie like Dr. Brazen Hussy has.
I don't have a cute kid to share photos of, but here's a photo of my jack 'o' lantern... :-)

I made myself a little chart that keeps track of the word counts on my three ongoing manuscripts. I imagined exponential curves, each in a different inspirational color, soaring towards something reasonably submittable. Two of the three have not changed *at all.* The third has gone from 6180 words to 6173 to 6161 to 6170. I know I have made real progress on this one, but it is not exactly inspirational....
