I'm not broke but you can see the cracks

I received feedback on my dissertation abstract that was strong and right and true: I have a dense writing style that is too compact to lead to a published work. (I didn't say it didn't hurt a bit, because it did sting.) However, I recognize she's right, I need to work on the skills of writing -- clear, cogent writing with enough words to convey what's in my brain to people who don't have access to my brain. That brings me to my resolution to write in my lj for 30 minutes every day, just working on the practice of writing. So, it might be a bit dull here and I promise to use lj-cuts in order to keep from spamming your flists with loads of boring "rosa reflects" posts.

And the timer has just announced that I have written for 30 minutes today. Hurray me, day one is a success!
