not that kind of doctor

Just 844 words — an article review I had promised to do for today.  Baby steps, babies.  Baby steps. So, you know, I only have to write 10,000 words tomorrow to meet my goal. Hahahahaahahaaha. But!  Guess what I realized?  My first goal?  To write 500 words per day?  That one I met!  Even if […]

I’ve had a really good day, just me and my MacBook and my Spider-Man snuggie. This is what grown up people look like when they work, right?  And though I’ve had two good days — maybe because I’ve had two good days — I’m flipping tired, man. This is what I have to say about […]

How do other people manage the grading bonanza that is November alongside #AcWriMo?  Cuz I think I’m failing!  There has been writing in these here hills, but not enough of it, really. So there’s been: 571 words to a CFP that looked so amazing I couldn’t pass it up, even though I haha so do […]

Today’s goal was to finish my portion — or at least the heavy lifting of my portion — of a collaborative article I’ve been working on with a colleague.  556 words later and I think I’m there.  There will me more to add, finesse, tweak, and change once we’ve met and combined all the portions, […]

When I woke up this morning, I saw that ACCUTE had extended its deadline until Wednesday, so I thought I’d take the extra time and submit a second proposal I’d been considering.  It came together rather quickly, and I read three other articles that will work well for some other projects.  A pretty productive evening, […]

It’s #AcWriMo, ladies and gentlemen, and while I typically scoff at the whole #NaNoWriMo and it’s off-shoots (probably because I have been conned into reading one too many unedited drafts from these viral phenoms), this year I’m all in.  I’m thinking: I need to reset myself.  I have slipped into the mindset that I am […]
