I am going to be very quick this time. I just finished a 12 hours straight structuring work on the thesis. I have copied and pasted all the research folders. I did take some super-mini breaks like popping my head out on the balcony to breathe some fresh air in and watch the Saturday lunchtime business of the market. Stephen had a friend around and cooked the most delicious Shepherd’s Pie. I am so grateful he has just finished his MA successfully and has great understanding of the whole process.
I volunteered to do the washing up , because I thought if I have to look at the laptop screen for another minute I was going to be sick. At this moment as I am writing these sentences I try not to look at the screen just the keyboard and save my eyes for the spell check. I cut and pasted together around 120.000 words on 520 pages which I have accumulated and wrote between September 2008 and march 2010. I typed into the laptop the leftover research over August and September this year while I was in Hungary.
Tomorrow I have to start the epic cutting away journey of finding between 15.000 – 18.000 good words amongst the 120.000 duplicated and triplicated case studies, interviews, conclusions and discussions.
