Yey The artist formally known as maya! Hello.
Glad all is well ladies. I am on the home stretch. Hope to submit around Easter. I am also involved in a project outside of uni -but to do with my research which is great as they're paying me money & I am doing a little bit of TV presenting work too.
I suppose my other big news is that I finally left my b.f a few months ago. But it is all good. Especially being free of the old bint monster in law
That's my fear, that the univesity is actualy going to slow me down.
I have been working on something else as well as the PhD the last few weeks and it may develop into something more and much more lucrative. I am in negotiation stage with a contract. Someone I know was in a similar position when the world of commerce came knocking before they'd finished and he recommended that I ask for 6 weeks before I sign on the dotted line and hole myself up and write a draft of the completed thesis.
Can it be done??!!
Say you've written your lit rev, method & methodology and a couple of papers which can be edited in - theoretically /hypothetically - if you were to lock yourself away and be v diciplined and put in an 8/10/12 hr day - how long do you think it would take to write a draft of a whole thesis?
Inapickle please don't feel stupid - this sounds pretty common and I think you can count yourself normal
Remember you're only just starting out & a PhD is an apprentership. That's why we do it - do know more. If you knew everything now - you'd be amazing. Supers are used to it and that's what they are there for - to stop and make you think. If you can unerstand yourself that you've got a bit to learn, then I'd say you're totally on your way.
Good luck x
