Yikes. Thesis revision was intimidating. Total count: 33,200 words, approx. 116 pages. Good grief, this has been a lot of work. The hardest part wasn't necessarily even the writing itself, either, it was trying to get my themes unified and figure out how I could connect ten different stories (with ten different sets of characters and settings).
As of half an hour ago, I finished whole-thesis-draft #2. No time to spare, either, as CWC is tonight. I hope everybody likes the binders I stuck the draft in. I didn't get the introduction finished like I wanted, but I did do edits on all ten stories. It's all mush in my head now, but I know I made it at least a little better.
I feel like I should get an ice cream, or at least a round of applause.
Extra kudos to Jenny, who just did the same thing and is up for critiquing tonight.

Some people might say loose-leaf is the way to go, but I'm a fan of the binder thing. I like toys. Even if they're someone else's.
Yay, Ali! You do get a "good on ya" for getting it done, even if just in the nick of time. Rewrites are brutal and actually finishing one is certainly reason to celebrate.
As long as I can make you happy, Jenny, my life is complete :)
Yeah, Deb. I think I may have to celebrate with something ice cream-shaped. Or treat myself to a movie. I certainly need to do something.
