How have I never heard of this? (Apparently I do not spend enough time on the right places on the Web.)
Better late than never, I say. I’ve already had a writing-heavy month, and I had some loose goals for next month, so I’m firming them up. By Dec 20 (conveniently: one month from now, my birthday, AND my intended start of Christmas vacation) I will:
- finish and submit three papers that are currently in various stages of unfinished-ness*
- write 10,000 more words in my dissertation**
*One of these has dragged on so long that my husband refers to it as ‘The Zombie Paper’. (It is not actually about zombies.)
**A modest goal, I know. I am a success-breeds-success kind of person and have learned through experience that I do my best work when I feel fantastic about how I just raced past that goal and kept on going.
Progress reports to follow.

Final progress report: Mixed results.
One paper submitted (and accepted); two still in progress, including the one that needs a stake through its heart. Apparently these two leaned more heavily on the side of unfinished than finished than I thought. Dissertation goal reached. Barely.
Considering the explosion of unforeseen problems that December handed me, I’m calling my first foray into InaDWriMo a qualified success. I’m not thrilled, but I’m satisfied and am continuing to move forward.
