how about that?

[kat_lair]

So. I just, for the first time ever, did a proper word count of all my thesis chapter drafts. Turns out I have 59,025 out of the required 80,000 words written. And I know for a fact that I have ready written notes, interview quotes and some errand references to still insert to that and a lot of 'joining-up' sentences and paragraphs to write to make it all flow prettily so...

I think this might be cautiously referred to as WIN?

*high-five*

[beren-writes.livejournal.com]

Yay! Well done :)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[scruby.livejournal.com]

Nice. Good luck. (:

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I need it. Adding 2,000 words a week from now on should give me a finished first draft by mid September...

[yan-tan-tether.livejournal.com]

That sounds like great news!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

It is, I shall now work on adding the rest by September and then it's editing time... Keep your fingers crossed for me.

[teithiwr.livejournal.com]

Whoooooooo! ROCK ON.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Now watch me try to churn out 2,000 words per week from now to September... *kicks PhD BUTT*

Let's have a celebratory dance shall we?!



Seriously, good job bb!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

DANCE BRENDON, DANCE!

Thank you darling, this gives me faith that I CAN submit this thing by Christmas...

[brilligspoons.livejournal.com]

Yay, congrats!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Thankies! :D

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Today I'm feeling confident that I will finish this thing on time... RAWR!

Aww, look! Pete is so excited about my thesis he's licking Joe's guitar... Bless.

♥

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Well precisely. That would be an excellent reason for Pete to lick Joe's guitar. Bet you wish it was something else he was licking :-)

Good on feeling confident about your thesis. Try and keep that thought.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Pete should definitely lick more things...

I shall try. Yesterday and today have been good, even though I only did two hours this morning before uni. Tomorrow I have most of the day before the poetry reading and then all day Thu and Fri. Feeling less stressed after the holiday definitely.

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

All of which is good.

I wouldn't mind watching Pete lick things :D

[lolabobs.livejournal.com]

\o/ Woot! Most definitely a win!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Yay! Today I feel good about this, tomorrow I may be gnashing my teeth again...

[maladroitoracle.livejournal.com]

\o/ That is excellent news!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I can totally churn out other 20,000 by December, right? RIGHT?

ps. HP tickets £6.80 adult (I'm not sure your student card would be valid here... or whether you have it with you). Let me know if you can get the weekend off, if not then how about the next one?

[maladroitoracle.livejournal.com]

Yes, you can! :P

I left my card at home, didn't think they would accept it here. And the weekend after that would be great if this weekend doesn't work out and I do hope I will have Sunday off then because it's my last whole weekend here. Wow! I just arrived in Manchester...

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Time flies when you're having fun, huh? :) Let me know about the dates as soon as you know. The first weekend would be better as I sort of have plans for the 23rd but they are more easily re-schedulable...

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Congratulations... and WIN is good :D

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was more than I was expecting so I feel optimistic now.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

Definitely WIN!! Well done - now it's downhill all the way...

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... it doesn't quite feel like downhill... but maybe at least an even road? :D

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAY WINNING !!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

*beats thesis into submission*

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]

I'm sure your thesis loves that

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Lol! I'm sure, it's been very naughty...

[tardisdoll.livejournal.com]

Well done! Out of 10,000 words for my dissertation I'm currently sitting on 0. Clearly I need some of your motivation! Go you! =]

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

What I find a good way of motivating is simply to set a word count for myself, e.g. 500 words per day. That way you pretty soon get the bulk of the text done and even if some of it's crap and needs to be edited out, it's still a solid start. Good luck with your dissertation!

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful news! A definite WIN - well done:)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

It was more than I expected so I'm pleased. Now to churn out the rest...

[loki-dip.livejournal.com]

Woot! :D I'd take it as a big win.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

It's a victory I'm clinging to at the moment...

[elle-dritch.livejournal.com]

AW YISS! \o/!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

This thing feels achievable now... at least sometimes.

[desfinado.livejournal.com]

INCREDIBLE! :D

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I LIKE TO THINKS SO, YES :D

[dreamersdare.livejournal.com]

WIN!!!!!11!1!111!!!111!ELEVENTY-ONE!111!!1!11!!!!

:D

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's over 70,000 now. Getting there.

[dreamersdare.livejournal.com]

I think you've gone beyond 'getting there' and are firmly into 'last lap' territory now :)
