Way back at the start of this hell year, I made myself a challenge that I wouldn't buy any new books for 2020. The only exceptions were my Kindle Subscriptions, Audible and the new Dresden Files book. Temptation is everywhere I hadn't realised on the one hand how freaking easy it would be because I've … Continue reading Book Ban Update

Dissertation Update #9
I guess I forgot to write this on submission day, but it's been all over for more than a month and I'm just now feeling the relief that it's all finished. My university career is over! Wtf?! The last few weeks before October 3rd were awful and some of the worst in my life, and … Continue reading Dissertation Update #9
Dissertation Update #8
I'm so close to finishing. I've been writing so much that I've not been updating. I printed most of it off at the library and I'll spend the rest of tonight editing. Less than 1k words to go! So much caffeine. e x
Dissertation Update #7
It's been a wee while between updates thanks to health stuff and not knowing what is causing me to still feel so ill. Anyway! I've been working away bit by bit and last night I hit the 10k words mark! Woohoo! Then today I started four new crochet projects because I'm procrochetenating finishing the excerpt. … Continue reading Dissertation Update #7
Dissertation Update #6
It's currently 5:10am. Woke up wide awake a bit after 2am and didn't know what was happening. I've been so tired lately that I've been sleeping through the night and I cannot remember the last time I had an insomniac episode. Naturally, I returned to writing. I finished handwriting another chapter, amended my chapter plan … Continue reading Dissertation Update #6
Dissertation Update #5
So yesterday I managed 6 hours sleep then was back up and back to work, until my hands gave out. Completely. I couldn't move them without them cracking and aching, so I had a hot bath and took the rest of the night off. Made it to 5150 words though! Starting much later than expected … Continue reading Dissertation Update #5
Dissertation Update #4
I've survived until now. It's after eight am and my eyes are gluing themselves shut. I've typed a good chunk and handwritten two other chapters as I'm reworking old drafts and my brain finds it easier to write. I'm rambling, sorry. I'm probably going to sleep for a while. My hands will be throbbing later, … Continue reading Dissertation Update #4
Dissertation Update #3
The typing process is improving. Still making mistakes but quickly fixing them. Listening to chill out jazz and bossa nova on youtube instead of movie soundtracks. It's nice and generic and does make me feel like I'm working in a coffee shop. Reading Pet Sematary during breaks. The scary is rapidly approaching. Forgot to use … Continue reading Dissertation Update #3
Dissertation Update #2
Getting more into the zone but also getting very sleepy. Harry Potter soundtrack songs keep playing and I want to watch them all again. My chair is uncomfortable. I can't type on my own keyboard, too used to the germy keyboards in work. Debating having an early night for a change and starting fresh tomorrow. … Continue reading Dissertation Update #2
