I have a couple of lovely free hours to work in and I can hear my lovely DB and Bean playing skittles together downstairs, so all is well and I can 'swith off' my momma side for a bit :)
I spent my ten mins working through my previous plan of action, and realised that I have met more of the points that I thought which is probably why I now feel rather adrift; I need a new plan of action! I started on that and basically it is about editing and proof reading rather than actual writing, which is a complete shock! And it will very, very soon include jobs, like writing the into and concl properly, that so far I have had as 'things to be kept to the very end'... but that is soon approaching!
As it is I do not have enough words. I have about 73000 at the mo. When I have edited my last two chapters, adding the theory and banner waving I need to, and then gone through the thesis as a whole and made sure the threads of each chapter interweave and make the same points (my banner waving), I should have about 76000 maybe. I don't mind coming in at 78000 as Sup said no one counts the pages or really cares unless it is hugely over the wordcount. I can always add a few more thousand, am sure they will come from somewhere!
So, rather than having concrete work, i.e. 'finish this chapter' etc, to do, I have more bitty work that will mean to-ing and fro-ing from different chapters, and maybe a bit more carving up of para's that are repetitive/contradictory/in the wrong place.
Quite exciting and strange!
