accountability?

[spheralunaris]

I need some serious accountability with my dissertation. Still working on chapter 1 and it's been a *year*. There are 4 more of these things plus an introduction that needs to be cranked out before I'm done. So yes, I've spent the past year writing a mere 11000 words of swill while taking over a hundred pages of notes

Gah~ I'm not looking forward to writing my dissertation either, whenever that might be. Maybe some people in your department can give you comments/suggestions? I know graduate work in English is different from that in Biomedical Sciences, but perhaps other graduate students could give you some good feed back on your writing.

p.s. Sorry I'm spamming your inbox; my brain seems to be skipping a beat at this hour. -_-;;

That is good advice but I have a hard time imagining myself doing it--part of the problem is that it's hard to show someone something that just isn't finished and I feel shitty about. I mean, Can I really ask someone to slog through 40 double spaced pages of something that isn't even really complete? And is also irrelevant, not saying anything, and about a play only a handful of others have even read? Ok, so obviously, self-confidence is a real problem >_>

Er. Did I ever ask you what play it is? and what the idea for the thesis is? I think I might have asked once but, you know, the brain past 40 has much in common with Swiss cheese. Y'never know, I mighta heard of it.
