So ever procrastinate on a project, and miss the deadline. And then the deadline is extended. Well that's what happened for this proposal I was working on. But then again I wonder how much of it is procrastination and how much is fearing someone else reading something I wrote.
You see I do have to admit that I do have some amount of fear in someone reading something I have written and critiquing it (yes I am working on a doctorate and admitted that).... as well its more that likely its reviewed by someone I don't know and well this is their first impression of me as a scholar and I just might be applying for a job somewhere near them soon....
And as such I have challenged myself to get over that fear this year! While we very seldom admit our fears as it relates to writing as doc students... I did for the first time last year for someone else to hear and have since finished one article that has been published, one conference proposal that was accepted, and how could I not mention successfully writing and defending my comprehensive examination last spring.
And as such this weekend it is my goal to finish another project I started.... And submit it for review.
