Been a long time
…shouldn’t have left you.. without a dope beat to step to… step to.
Flick it, flick it…
Good news. The thesis is progressing well. When I last wrote here, I was stuck in a fourth chapter that seemed of infinite duration, and honestly I started to panic. See, for my own sanity, and reasons of Canadian national security I need to be done with this degree by December 31st. To accomplish this I need to keep on schedule.
As much fun as the ‘Viability’ series of articles were, I was being distracted from the main thing for me right now. Once I take care of this thing we can get back to having some fun around here.
So, progress report: I finished the fifth and final chapter last week, and while in that state of euphoria I promptly decided to go and get myself sick. Now I’m (relatively) healthy again and getting into the nitty gritty of editing.
Hard to believe this is a Master’s degree when I’m talking about editing 200 pages of text. Stretch this just a wee bit and I should be able to get a PhD off of this thing. But I’m not going to go there any time soon. (Could it really be worse than this though?)
Expect more posts in the near future as I get back into the writing rhythms. The ‘Viability’ series will continue as soon as the thesis is done. ‘God spare life’ as they say.
Still got lots planned for this year and next. Stay tuned.
