Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.

— Voltaire







Today's word count is 8,335 Nano Writer! And something to keep in mind: every word counts - even the ones that might seem too big or too small or just not quite right. Remember that you're writing a rough draft this month - it's not suppose to be perfect - but it needs to be written!

Questions? Comments? Funny or weird typos to share? It's all go odd ;-) So keep writing!

I feel like anthro's helped because I'm really focused on the characters. At least you've been published - shows you got talent!

No, I had a slave driver for a dissertation director. It was more like, "Oh, we've just put your name in to give a paper at the conference on Comparative Slavery in Florida! Be sure to get started early so you have time for revisions!"

Academic publishing is very very different. It's all solid research. If you are even slightly emotional or colorful, they can you as "a novelist".

Makes me so glad I'm not trying to get anything beyond a BA :X Though it feels like anthro, ethnic studies and gender studies must be a bit different.

It's grad school that kills you. I did gender in the NEP economy and the corresponding legal changes.

Grad school makes everything unfun. :(

[iosonochesono]

Yeah... I should do grad school but pffft forget that.

If I had to do it all over again --

I'd kill myself first.
