InaDWriMo: Alice's week 2 -- hardly a sausage

By skookumchick on November 17, 2008.

i-f875c0b07d9b3cb6229668554781b35a-alice.jpgAs Science Woman has noted, we're moving into week 3 for InaDWriMo and my progress has been lamentable at best. I found no word count thingies, I am way behind on my gender dissertation paper, and I'm avoiding the resubmit paper. In good news, I've asked my graduate student for help on the gender theory and literature paper (hi student!) and am hopeful we're moving forward on that a bit, but I could be writing the beginnings of the paper and have not yet started.

However, I have some time today -- no meetings until 1 -- so I'm sitting at my writing space and... blogging apparently. I'd better get down to the writing part. I've also blocked out time on my calendar this week explicitly for writing, AND next week I'm avoiding the office entirely (I'm going on a research trip next weekend which almost maps up to Thanksgiving, so I've made it official and will be out all week. No excuse not to get writing done). Hopefully next week will have a better update.

Okay. I need a plan.
I got back into town at about 1:00 pm on Monday from a weekend at my other house. I ate lunch from leftovers in the fridge from at least 1.5 weeks ago (ack), and proceeded to waste much of the rest of the afternoon. While I did call some landscapers for help with our blank-slate back yard, and go…
Anyway Project Update 1
Just a note: Eric stepped on the overpriced device that allows us to have a slow and primitive but still wireless connection out here in middle-of-nowhere-land this morning. It is still working, miraculously (it doesn't look like it should be working), but I expect to lose internet access…
Having a family and an academic career: one blogger's experience (part 3).
At the end of part 2, I had just dropped the baby-bomb on my unsuspecting advisor. Happily, he did not have a cow about it. Now, as we move into the stage of this story that is A.P. (after pregnancy), we lose the coherent narrative structure for awhile. Given what the first several weeks with a…
