It seems as though I am making decent progress on the chapter revisions, which were not too many to begin with, thankfully. The Montgomery Plot is kicking my butt, though, and making me not like it. It just won't fit into my chapter nicely, but it has to and so I've sat here for hours, struggling with it, trying to get it to play nicely because tomorrow is the deadline for these revisions and I can't afford to take longer on this chapter right now.
It doesn't help that I'm stressing about this because I have plans for tonight (for once!) and those plans start in roughly two hours and I still need to shower and get dressed and pack for the night. Perhaps a break to shower and pack will clear my head and I will come back and kick the Montgomery Plot's butt. Whining just a little bit about it has already helped, so did signing up for JaneB's writing group, which leads me to the entire point of this post...
As a reminder, Jane B is hosting the Top Left Quadrant writing group for the summer. Don't forget to sign up if you're interested. It starts this weekend!
Good idea to take a break (especially for a shower or a short walk) to clear your head and help things make sense.

Hurrah! Hurrah! and another Hurrah! Sounds like a good start to a summer of writing.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Montgomery Plot eventually succumbed to your ministrations, and played well with the other parts of the chapter. A break often does help. If not, well, yours wouldn't be the first dissertation with a few odd bits sticking out at awkward angles. Just tuck them in the best you can, hope your readers might have a solution (or at least be willing to ignore them), and carry on.
How’s the dissertation now, Jodi? Well, from the sounds of it, you really were determined to finish up dissertation writing as soon as possible. It’s good that you really wanted to be finish at an early time, but I think it would be good to take your time in revising the paper. That way, you won’t have to redo mistake all over again. Anyway, good luck on writing your dissertation
