Sigh.<BR/>And hey, if you figure out a way to write things on a regular basis *and* work out, wouldja let me know? I seem only capable of doing one or the other.kdaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080339393670857379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399701802496487396.post-68325751917102515142007-05-14T22:58:00.000-04:002007-05-14T22:58:00.000-04:00Writing styles: the chiselers vs. the vomit-ers. I...Writing styles: the chiselers vs. the vomit-ers. I'm one of the latter; immense amounts of spew, very fast, but it's a bitch to clean up. (I don't understand the chiselers; they seem to be carving diamonds or something, and can spend hours in front of the computer and just change an adjective. But oh well.) <BR/><BR/>And if you think you're slow, I've been ABD since March of 2004. It's taken me about a year per chapter (well, 9 mos. and then some waiting time for the committee response). I'm feeling especially snail-like in comparison to you today. <BR/><BR/>Heh. I'm going to go watch tv instead of work then. I have to be consistent to my pace.Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399701802496487396.post-75157840298317765882007-05-14T16:45:00.000-04:002007-05-14T16:45:00.000-04:00AH: It's not t-t, but who cares???

(Of course, don't tell the creditors love me so much they call me everyday.) I hope you're coming to Grad City! Not for your sanity, of course. But for the folks of Grad City. Maybe a drinkie before we sail past each other in the night?Earnest Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947000435270263070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399701802496487396.post-75638143298495150882007-05-14T15:34:00.000-04:002007-05-14T15:34:00.000-04:00I thought you promised me a drinkie.I thought you promised me a drinkie.GayProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289510184782252498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399701802496487396.post-86720310627810725412007-05-14T13:36:00.000-04:002007-05-14T13:36:00.000-04:00i think your process sounds great--we each have ou...i think your process sounds great--we each have our own idiocyncratic ways of writing. and as always, the best dissertation is the finished dissertation.<BR/><BR/>and congrats, i had no idea you already had a job--that makes everything different. finish line right in front of you!gwoertendykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00542058287462910446noreply@blogger.com
