The 'actually written' thesis now stands at 9,653 words, i.e. the introduction and two chapters. The total thesis, which includes lots of random quotes and outlines, stands at exactly 14,061 words, which I guess it's pretty good going considering five days ago I had half that...
The writing is now, all of a sudden, going super quickly - so much so that I basically wrote out a whole chapter today. I guess all of that reading I did (which was a way of procrastinating at the time!) is paying off, as I'm finding that I can put things together fairly fast. I guess I can also thank the person who transcribed my interviews (paid for by the organisation I worked with!) and all of the prep work my supervisor suggested I did last term, as I'm basically just putting a puzzle together.
And almost enjoying it, apart from the fact that my brain is about to explode.
See, I'm going to turn into a boring person now, until this is done and dusted. Which, namely, is not going to be in a very long time. (Yay! Says my head.)
Now I have to wait for my supervisor to reply to my email. Let's see if she's going to kick my ass... Sigh.
At least I'm starting to think that I might not be the best academic writer, but I know how to tell a story. And that's all I want to do.
