I have to go and wake him up, he has slept longer than I should have let him!
But I did work during his nap, did 1hr 15mins. Worked out a lot of confusing bits that have been playing on my mind this morning and am starting to see the chapter as a whole. Am pretty sure I can't write much more into it, as it is really long and will totally lose the reader if I include too much more. There are about 5/6 authors and their ideas that I absolutely have to namecheck. One section I might just cut out mostly as the next chapter goes on and on about it a lot... The section I thought i would drop entirely, thereby changing my thesis, I have put in! hasn't been as massive as I thbought though, is such a vast topic I really have to just take one quote from each book I want to namedrop or I would be writing forever!
Is a good thing having too much to say though... and reading through it briefly I have got a LOT of points in there! Some I barely remember writing?!
Coming to work during bean's nap was really very difficult! But once I sat down and did my first ten mins it was just fine. I only planned to do three sets of 10 mins then could leave if I wanted. I felt this was a manageable amount, not too daunting but could get a decent amount done. I feel *so* much better for it too; I have re-aquainted myself with it, added about 500 words, got through several of the sources I need to add in, and feel confident it is under control.
After some time away I start to fret that it is all shit and I have forgotton bla bla, and can't bear to look at it again! making myself open it up and do some work is a grand thing. I did have a small tantrum when putting Bean to bed and thought 'but it is my time OFF' and realised, that actually, while I still have so much to do it ISN'T yet. When I have finished then it will be my time off! In the meantime I have to keep pushing through :)
Am off to wake my son and have a lovely, happy afternoon knowing I have DONE MY WORK FOR TODAY and so have all this evening off to loll about, happily. And I know the work is coming on ok, and AMAZINGLY I also know that I just *have* to stop writing soon as it is very big! So I have to start wrapping stuff up! Which is a wonderful thing to realise :) Fingers crossed this lit review chapter will be finished by Weds next week! And then only the methodology, intro and concl to write from scratch :)
It is all about the momentum...
Hurray!
