Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thank god. I have finally finished editing the lit review AND got it down to 4000 wds.
I am sure it will come back to me and I dread it. I wonder if I will ever get it done properly. But I have reworked it so it makes sense, taken lots of shite out and added other good stuff and talked all the time about how I do like this idea/don't like that idea.
Am so bored to death of it; if I could I would take some time off now! But I can't. I will never get this chapter done today :( I have about 8 pages left to edit (of 30) which is wonderful, but they need a lot of work and I also have to write 250 words introducing my case study properly, which is grand but needs stats etc that I have to research. I did have them once, but have lost them somewhere in the two house moves I have done since I started 5 years ago! It is easy, just will take a couple of hours.
I wonder if Bean will nap tomorrow... if he does I could work then! If I had tomorrow, or just half of tomorrow, I could get it finished and so it would be in 'by the end of the week'.
I will keep going. Keep trying, pushing, grit teeth, get on...
Oh, the full edited manuscript from Sup has arrived. It is downstairs, unopened. It will remain unopened until I work on the next chapter - Sunday probably. I completely dread opening it. It will be bloody awful.
Any Sup has written on my chapter I am working on that I need a copy-editor! I agree, I cannot see typos and mistakes in my own work. But my friend who is a copy-editor said she would do it... for £1000! WTF! That is mates' rates too! We can't pay that for someone to peruse this begger :( But what a dream... would she change it all for me? she would wouldn't she. Ahhhhh. That would be like a lovely hot bath, sending off my typos for someone to change it so it is all nice and perdy and sharp.

Jeez, how much is non-mates-rates?? Sounds like you're doing really well! Do you have a plan for what you'll do when you submit?
ah... submitting... Is there life other than this?!?!?!!
well, I will have NYE, then crochet and watch boxsets, play firefighters with the toddler and plan to move house to the other side of the country! Whereupon I shall crochet some more, give birth and give myself over to ridiculous autobiographies :)
