14 pages down50 to go. This mornings/afternoons writing finished up chapter 4. 2 chapters to go. w00t! all nightersI’m getting too old for these. Today’s going to be a long day, an all nighter coupled with giving up coffee and tea for Lent…going to be a long day. 8 pages.I so want to be done with this by easter, because then I can take the next week off of work, and it’s spring break, and it’d be awesome to have a week without having to worry about writing this. good times. Brain hurted.I wrote up 9 full pages this morning, and that’s pretty good. I’ve got another 20-30 pages on this chapter, and then it’s two to go. I want to get another 10-15 tomorrow, I’m relatively positive I can do so. I’ve got about 10 pages of notes for it, so it’s good to rock. I try to work in hour increments, with about a 10-15 minute break between. I set a buzzer and everything, it helps me keep on track. The tricks you learn, I tell ya. Anyway, here’s the break down of an average hour: Then I take a break, and start again. I do this about 2 or 3 times in the morning. Each hour I can get a good section completed, and those sections run usually (dependent on the amount of notes, how awake I am, how much I’m excited to be writing) about 5-6 pages. This morning, I was doing two sections, one on Snori Sturloson, and the other on Aeschylus. 9 pages is pretty good. Tomorrow: Homer and the anonymous Beowulf poet. PERHAPS get the sections done on the author of the homeric poems and the volsung saga…and the poetic edda. We shall see. shoot me in the facethank goodness this is only a 3 day week, more or less. Yesterday I took off, and then this Friday I’m off to work on the diss. ever have a weekendthat had so many irritating elements in it and wore you down so much that you needed Monday off? That’s today for me. |
