Thanks to Dr. Brazen Hussy, I now understand that what I thought was International Dissertation Writing Month is actually International AcaDemic Writing Month, an umbrella community for all of us doing various kinds of academic writing, including the revisions I am threatening to undertake. So, I don’t have to start my own NaRevWriMo group, after all — as much fun as that would have been. I refer you to What the Hell is Wrong With You? if you are interested in signing up for the challenge. Brazen Hussy is also promising PRIZES!!

If anyone can recommend a widget that would count hours of labor rather than words produced — since that count just doesn’t work for the revision process — please let me know.

In the meanwhile, I’ll just state for the record that my goal is a mere 48 hours of concentrated labor on my book revisions in the month of November. An easily accomplished goal, right?

UPDATE: I’m not able to register officially with Brazen Hussy ‘cuz you have to have a Google/Blogger account to do so and I refuse to sign up for ANOTHER account that I don’t need for any other reason. But, I’m participating in spirit and will track my progress here.
