Hiya,
Really trying to get some work done. My supervisor wants some work in for tomorrow 11am. I am having some trouble though. My friend who was going to proofread my chapters has let me down. The aim of this was re-writing bits of it and having it proofread. But now I am buggered. Any tips for proofreading it myself. I feel so disgruntled and unmotivated. I don't know how I have worked through this weekend. I think I will be working through the night. Any tips would be appreciated. Many thanks x

I find proofreading myself difficult - hard to distance myself from my own writing. But one thing I have found helpful is to read the pages backwards i.e. start at the last page, and then the page before that, and so on. It breaks up the flow a bit, but lets me focus on each page in sequence. Helps me see it afresh properly.

Good luck!
