Countdown...

Four days until mother gets here.

Three full days to write at least a rough draft of this damn lit review so I can send it to my supervisor for critique in time to get it back and have a few days to tweak any rough patches after mum's gone.

I have less than 1,000 words so far. We've been given a usual range of 5,000-10,000, and I have a feeling it's going to be closer to 10,000. SO far to go.

However, I have read over 100 journal articles, ended up ordering one book I couldn't get anywhere else, and have (mostly) narrowed it down to the 50 or so references that are acceptable for this sort of review. I have a rough outline in my head about how I'm going to procede. I know this stuff. I just have to write it down.

Argh. This is going to be a hellish three days. Fannish activity will likely cease (except the occasional pornish distraction to help me cope), so catch you guys on the flip side.

GIP b/c it's so damn funny. Thanks to iconzicons.

Good luck! I've totally been in the same boat for the past several days, and the end just keeps getting further and further away...

You'll do great. I'll send good vibes to you. Seems we are all under the gun this week. I'm doing a presentation to the city council executive comitee tomorrow night. Tomorrow is going to be non stop adrenalin.

Get writing girl

Get the rough draft outta yer head and onto the paper. I'm sure it'll be fine, but it'll be one less thing to worry about.

Wishing you all the best. I know from experience that it isn't easy to get a draft done in a short amount of time but I'm sure that you will do well and the supervisor's comments will be helpful.
