International Biblical Studies Writing Month
Chris Brady has designated (he gets to do that because he’s a dean) January 2008 (and a bit of December 2007) to be International Biblical Studies Writing Month. You can read all about it here, and Chris used a colophon to Biblical Studies Carnival XXV to remind us all. There’s nothing quite like public accountability to hold one’s feet to the fire. Therefore, I hereby declare my intention to complete the following projects within January 2008:
- The final, polished version of my book proposal for Genesis through the Centuries.
- A revision of my 2006 SBL paper on Genesis 19:9, suitable for publication (I’ll probably start with Hebrew Studies as far as submissions are concerned).
- At least two of my three outstanding (as in “not yet written,” not as in “wonderful beyond imagining”) book reviews for Bible and Critical Theory.

Ha!

Thanks for proposing that January be included in the International Biblical Studies Writing Month. It’s a good encouragement for me to keep plugging away.
Zephyr, I can’t take credit for that! I think maybe it was Tim Bulkeley who suggested extending the “month” through January, since December is pretty busy for most of us who teach. Ending a semester can be more work than beginning one.
