November is NaNoWriMo. I have participated in the past but due to my thesis defense on November 12th, I didn't even start this year.
Oh yeah. My thesis defense was November 12th. That's over. I passed the defense but, alas, still have mountains of revisions to do. Such is life.
Both of these topics are seemingly unrelated, but hey, they're both writing. Lots of writing. More writing than I like to do. When presented with large tasks like this, I get nervous. Really nervous. Palm sweating, eyeball-rubbing, hair-pulling, eat-a-tub of cookie dough kind of nervous. I am not a big-picture kind of gal. I like small tasks, easily achievable deadlines. I also like being surrounded by people, if not to support me in my goals then at least to suffer alongside me. There's no reason every task can't be like this. I shall break down my big goals into smaller ones, and surround myself with the bathing blue glow of the internet! Because that's completely healthy. Right? *cough*
Hence, I am heretoforth setting a goal to write something every day. Whether or not it is long, whether or not it relates to my ultimate career goals, I should write something in its entirety each day. There is nothing more satisfying than finishing something, and tere has been a distinct lack of finishing things in my life as of late.
So, Blogger, expect to see a lot more activity from one Thesis Peon.
