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... :-)

InaDWriMo is, and I quote:
International acaDemic Writing Month is the academic's answer to NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. It was originally created by StyleyGeek as International Dissertation Writing Month, but because so many of us who had already finished our degrees were interested in…
I'm not going to apologize about lack of posting over the last month or so, and I'm not going to make any promises for the future. That said, here's what I'm up to for InaDWriMo this month.
Here's what I wrote at ring-leader Dr. Brazen-Hussy's kickoff post:
Finish revisions on the paper-that-won't-…
Okay, so what on earth *have* I been up to, if not blogging? I'm catching you up (rather like the recitative bits in opera - dry, dull, but advancing the action, rather than arias which are beautiful but don't get you anywhere much) with some RBOCs...
As previously mentioned, I had a trip to…
We've met, we've gotten educated, we've gotten married, and almost all in two different cities. Now I've quit my job so I can finish my dissertation, and we live together, what a concept.
Okay, year together, blah blah blah. Gardening, working, eating locally, helping each other, all good things…
Welcome to the writing club. For the next month, we try to push writing to the top of the daily to-do list.
(right after commenting on blogs, in my case!)
I am so going to do this.....
as soon as the election is over.
Many thanks to you guys for letting me know about this! I'm totally in!
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....
Love the idea of a graph charting progress. i'm gonna make me one too!
