Idea for this site

I’ve been thinking about starting a blog to document some of the good, bad, and ugly moments of dissertation writing.  I’m not entirely sure how often I’ll be posting, but I hope to do so every now and again.  I’ve started the first chapter (the intro) and it turns out that this is going to be a lot tougher than I had thought!  After reading/writing for a few hours at a time, I find myself wanting a little break.  I’ll surf the web, get on facebook or myspace, or play a quick computer game.  That’s fun and all, but I feel guilty taking those breaks…so I’m going to try using my break time in a more productive way by writing on this blog.  We’ll see how it goes, but I might as well give it a shot.
