Much goofing around since Monday. I am making progress on Dusenbery, and could make more if I wasn't seized by the holiday bug. Haven't touched the gigantic stack of grading I planned to get done.

After taking some time off to fudge and slur my way through a few conferences, my IRB app, and the first draft of my first chapter, I am back to the blogging and the facebooking.

Agh.

I am not going to write about Britney Spears' VMA performance, but I am going to take a sec from talking about my first chapter brainstorming to do a little memory exercise about 9/11.


I am borrowing this from Bawarshi's Genre & The Invention of the Writer as a prewriting exercise for my diss chapter:
1. Collect samples of the genre.

No blog yesterday - under my new working regime does that mean that I need to blog twice today? We'll have to see.


I have been entertaining the idea of taking myself on my own little "writer's retreat", preferrably to a shabby motel on the beach with no wireless.
