A bit of progress

This is just to say that I wrote four pages yesterday and 3 and a half today. They're not quality, but right now I'm shooting for quantity. Quality will be the goal for the revision. As I've said many times before and recommitted to again, I plan to have this chapter done by the end of the month. I really mean it this time. I'm relatively close -- within 15 pages I think -- so it seems possible. As long as I keep getting my butt to the grad carrels in the library, I should be able to make it happen.

Then it's on to my chapter on embodied rhetoric, for which I have more reading to do. That's the rhetorical theory on which there's the most written, and while I've read a good chunk of what I need to, I keep coming across more sources. So I'm planning to finish this chapter and set it aside, then read for a few weeks and then write like a crazy person. Then it's revision, revision, revision, and, of course, more revision.

How're all of you doing?

Yea, for progress, Abby! Your writing process seems a lot like mine: crank it out, then go back and work it. If I stop at each sentence to rewrite, I never get anything on paper.

Here's to keeping your butt in the chair! :-)
