November is a National Novel Writing Month. Not all bloggers write novels, though, so some people proposed alternatives:
National Blog Writing Month (also known as National Blog Posting Month) and the International Dissertation Writing Month.

The latter involves posting one's thesis-writing (or manuscript-writing or grant-writing) progress on the blog.

Then, over about a month (from April 17, 2006 to May 17, 2006) I wrote a gazillion…
Several items showed up recently that may be of interest to science bloggers, their readers, and related science communicators of various stripes....
A) Today, Eureka, the science section of London Times, published a list of Top 30 Science Blogs.
Every list that has me in it is a good list ;-)…
Yikes! Don't tell my advisor is National Dissertation Writing Month! Especially since my comprehensive exam is in 2 and half weeks. Hmmm... maybe if I blogged my dissertation I could just refer my committee to my posts for review and they could comment on the individual sections as I post them. Of course it would never fly with them.
