bare_bearI'm sorry to those on my flist who are tired of me bitching about my thesis. I can only promise that there is much more of it to come. :P
Alright, word count. I haven't officially typed anything up, but I got about 6 pages of long hand written out. This might sound impressive, but I write long hand using a marker and double spaced on loose leaf paper (I can write fast enough to keep up with my thoughts that way), so this actually comes to only about 450-500 words in reality. BUT, I also did my usual shortening of sentences when I jot thoughts down in a long-hand rough draft, so typed out it should actually reach my daily word count. I'll do an official count tomorrow after I finish writing out this section and officially type it up.
Keep count may wind up being harder than I expected considering my writing process. (Yes, I kill forests.) HOWEVER, I don't know if I would've actually written anything if I hadn't committed myself to NaNoWriMo and actually told people both on- and off-line that I was doing it. :D
I will admit, tackling this is scary as hell, and I think the uncertainty of where to start this beast of a thesis is what's held me back for so long. I realized today that it doesn't really matter where I start, as long as I do something, anything.
I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can...
In other news, these scones are the best things ever, especially if you swap the raisins for cranberries! Mmmm...
