November is a National Novel Writing Month. Not all bloggers write novels, though, so some people proposed alternatives:
National Blog Writing Month (also known as National Blog Posting Month) and the International Dissertation Writing Month. The former is easy – post at least once a day throughout November (easy for me to say with my 8.2 posts per day average). The latter involves posting one’s thesis-writing (or manuscript-writing or grant-writing) progress on the blog.
Anyone interested? Follow the links and sign up.
And to get your juices flowing, there is yet another debate about cons and pros of academic blogging.

Yikes! Don’t tell my advisor is National Dissertation Writing Month! Especially since my comprehensive exam is in 2 and half weeks. Hmmm… maybe if I blogged my dissertation I could just refer my committee to my posts for review and they could comment on the individual sections as I post them. Of course it would never fly with them.
