Dissertation Update

Ben has started a dissertation meter on his blog so I decided that today I would do the same and keep track of how many words I wrote in the course of the day. I kept track, however, of how many words I wrote net; that is, I looked at how many words I had, total, at the beginning of the day, and how many words I had, total, at the end of the day. (So all of the editing I did today subtracted from the number I'm going to record on my dissertation meter.) Here's my results. Time: started sitting at the computer at 8:20am and finished 10 1/2 hours later at 6:50pm. Total number of words, net: 404.
