Just because I haven’t posted in a long time, doesn’t mean that all has been quiet over here. It’s been a busy month! (I still plan to post some writing retreat reviews.) I’ve been writing up a storm, procrastinating along the way, and benefitting greatly from the experience and wisdom of writing friends. (A shout out to my exceptional writing partner and to the always inspiring GEW).

I hope to have everything (except the conclusion) sent to both advisors in December, so I can schedule a February defense. I have my work cut out for me!

Wow – it looks all the more impressive when you list everything together. Congratulations on getting so much done and being so close to turning it all in!
Congratulations! It is sometimes good to list up what you have done and what you are going to do. Also it is nice to have a wonderful writing partner!
