So November ended 12 days ago, which you may have realised, but I hadn't. Well I had, but I carried on trying to achieve my AcWriMo November goal of 500 words per day without realising it had officially ended. So I guess it was a success in that I didn't stop writing at midnight on the 30th. Did I write 500 words per day every day for the whole month? Nope. But I wrote a heck of a lot more than I would have otherwise.
What AcWriMo did for me was to re-introduce the idea of pure scholarly pursuit: simply enjoying writing ideas down, reading papers, digesting the information then writing more ideas down. So at least I can move forward with this new found invigoration, and the knowledge that I am capable of producing and communicating innovative thoughts. That blank page isn't nearly as intimidating now...
