I have achieved my daily goal of writing 500 words :)
Was pretty easy with some copy typing... have now finished lifting my lit review from my MA... Have dug out my notes, of which there are a LOT, and have started working through those and working them in to the text. Is all pretty simple, just time consuming! I came upstairs once I finished copy typing. I haven't really work for long today, but I have done what I want to do.
Am tired today, I don't know why. I only have tomorrow left to work... My word count for this chapter stands at 6,500 which is excellent, I shouldn't go over 10,000 words now I don't think. I think there is an entire strand of the lit review that I won't put in. Which means it won't really figure in my thesis like I have thought all the way through (for five years). It was an area of interest that compelled me to do a PhD in the first place; I have doggedly researched it and written about it all the way through... and now my Sup says 'how, exactly does this fit in?' I say, 'it does! it does!' and then, when not being so stubborn, I wonder if it does. And if I can get over the fucking WASTE OF TIME I spent on it, I think it might be able to be relegated...
You live and learn, eh?
Anyway, I don't know. But if I did relegate it then am not far off finishing this chapter. Which is something I could get excited about if I didn't have the next two weeks lacking childcare. Oh, to move and be nearer family who could help out.
