I think...
This discussion chapter is finally, finally in its final state. The headings are concise and make sense, there is a narrative and argument (arguments) and it stands at 8,000 words. I have about 700 - 1000 words to add, then need to tighten it up and make the conclusion and intro match to the text (!). That will be draft one done.
Then I shall need to re-visit it after I have done the lit review chapter and add in/take out bits as I am sure I would have explained some concepts etc already.
I am slightly concerned by the lack of references and namechecking I have done in this chapter but wonder if that is because this is mainly a 'thinky' chapter, rather than one laying out different arguments? I mean, I have already made the arguments and presented the relevant people (apparently!) within the research so far, so this time I am just saying how the arguments *I* have made are important/useful for my field? I reference my findings a lot in this chapter... Hmmm, dunno. I think writing my lit review shall help me work this out. That chapter will be chock full of references. Everyone under the sun and their aunty!
Speaking of sun... I am going to get some lunch and rest my back and shoulders and catch some rays. I am hunched over my laptop on the floor and it HURTS! But I can't work on my desk because my notes are all over the floor. I have a huge kitche table for my desk and they won't fit on it! I do have them in neat piles now though according to my main 'themes'. Lovely, lovely.
Am sick of this work and getting tense with it! I don't want to get tense it's miserable and doesn't make you work any faster. well, maybe it does a bit :0) Am a bit pregnant-moody today too which makes me generally grumpy. Am annoyed that I can't just constantly work but have to get Bean and stuff too, I just really want to work all the time. I am not good for company or chilling or being anything other than a work grump. It's because I have run over my deadline, I don't feel I have any time to spare now so can't relax or think about much else. Oh well, it's not for long now.
