Right then.
I have worked all bloody day (10 hours, even had lunch here) and I am now hungry so guess, once I have gone and eaten and things, I might as well call it a day. I cannot work any more, and actually, I don't need to.
I have my 80,000 words. I would put an exclamation mark or show joy but I am too tired. I don't know how I did this but copy and pasting seemed to do the trick. Or I added up wrong and obviously i still have 71,000 words.
I also have an intro of sorts; it has structure and all the parts are there but the lit review is still too long. However, it should refer to my research often like a good lit review. I have said why I am doing my work in India (am not completely sure, I think I just fancied going there and had to make some guff up) and methods etc.
I need to edit and read through this introduction, and it needs about 1000 words trimming off it, which is very reasonable.
I shall NOT do any work tomorrow as it needs time to 'bed-in' so my brain works out what i have left out, what I have spraffed on about too much and what is completely ridiculous. I will then come back on Sunday eventime to kick off the editing. Monday I will edit and start turning it into a conclusion.
I will not read through the whole draft of the thesis before sending it off as that would take forever, and in no way would it be a skim read. It needs going through with a fine tooth comb but first I would like sup to see it and tell me how crap it all is (see discussion chapter debacle for why not to finesse work you are unsure about).
So. I have to write a quick sentence or two about why I am not looking at certain things and then I am OFF! oh, and to re-organise my chapter outline so it is actually representative of my chapters. ah fuck it, might just begger off!
Really very happy in a subdued, 'fuck me' kind of way :) maybe like a bad runner after a marathon?!
