I worked really hard today!
Worked my socks off until 2.15 when I finished a particular section. I have only managed to edit a third of the chapter though which I think says something about the state it was in!
I hate editing, it is soooooo hard! Holding all the arguments and points in your haed so you can check that the intro makes sense and is concise and remembering what I have said all the time is surprisingly difficult. It is satisfying when a good part of it has been ironed out though. I think I might have over signposted but won't know until I go back through it with a fresh eye. This chapter seems particularly complicated as there are a lot of little points I want to make rather than two or three big 'uns so getting them under one umbrella heading is a pain in the bum.
Anyway, I worked so hard my brain has melted now I have had lunch! I have half an hour before I get ready to get my bean and then I won't be able to work again till saturday. Am annoyed I have only got a third of the way through! I think I will skim read some more and see how messy the rest is so I have an idea of what is what for saturday. I don't think the rest is as muddled - may not have to do much other than signpost properly. We'll see. I do feel somehwat cleansed for doing this work though, and it is the kind of work that I can leave and do other stuff like reading in the meantime. I am not sure if I will work tonight, probably not as I am super tired from today's concentrating! And I shan't work tomorrow as it is friday, I have bean and will probably crack open some vino tomorrow night and relax! So saturday it is.
