Responding to EDubya's 2 day old comment got me thinking. A couple of hours later I came back and now have 3 pages of scribblings that might turn into 4 or 5 good paragrpahs and might even become the forward to this book.
I've written a thesis (i.e. an almost book-length manuscript) for my Masters of Fine Arts. I've done a few more interviews, turning up more interesting info, and have hand written/first drafted some changes to several chapters. However, sitting down to type and to write in depth - well, that's where I'm failing.
One example of what I've come up with: I recently received translations of letters sent home to New Ipswich from Soviet Karelia, north of Leningrad. During the Great Depression, a local family joined the little known movement to settle there and create a "worker's paradise." The letters describe how all that turned sour.
Having problems with Zealog's entries.
Sketched new opening for the stories of local veterans. I'll focus on how the US govt tested mustard gas on American soldiers, which Fred N's unit endured.
Procrastination is the curse of many writers: me in particular. I have a book draft that I want to return to. I'm using narrative nonfiction to tell the stories of neighbors in a small corner of a New Hampshire town.

Check out http://www.savethewords.org/. Yelve seems like a very useful term for anyone working in academia.

Not enough time to write it out now, but I wanted to get credit. More later.

I should clarify, I'm a nonfiction writer.

Have you ever tried the NaNoWriMo? I started it one time. I think I got to maybe 1000 out of 50,000. :/
