truepenny: artist's rendering of Sidneyia inexpectans (hamlet)

Have made a first, cursory pass over the entire dissertation and fixed--or at least patched--all the things that HL said were really wrong. Will have to go through it again, much less cursorily, but I think I'd better write the conclusion first.

Also need to finish Alas, Poor Ghost!, so I can look all smart and sociological in the pamphlet chapter. And have one source that no one on my committee will be familiar with.

Have left a message for a friend in the department that I'm going to exploit her by making her read my incredibly long and confusing introduction (it's going to hit 60 pages before I'm done, easy).

Have put the little cryptic notes of everything that needs to go in the conclusion in the conclusion. Writing the fucker may be a different matter.

The mail today brought word of another novella rejected, and menstrual cramps are hell.

Thirteen days.

Good title for the post!

An excellent day's work.

[pat, pat] And I didn't write you any George angst! Guess I'd better stay after work and try to finish some.

Yeah, I was proud of that title. :)

I dunno. It might count as a good day's work if I'd put in more than about an hour of effort. As it is, I'm being satisfied with having done SOMETHING and trying to psych myself up for another pass.

I would say don't worry about the George-angst, but I figure you need to write it anyway, so I might as well benefit. :)
