It is very hard to turn a 25 page paper into a 7-10 page presentation. With all this cutting and pasting and reorganizing, I wonder if it wouldn't just be easier to rewrite the dang thing. I've been at it for a few hours now and I've gotten it down to 16 pages, which I suppose is progress, but still! gah!
I think the question I need to keep asking myself is, "what am I trying to say again?" cause I keep losing sight of my thesis getting bogged down in detail.
I think I need to throw in some opinion about Marti's opinion as well to give this some more interesting structure.
Edit: 15 pages! this is starting to seem doable.
Edit again!: 14 pages - if I come back to this with fresh eyes tomorrow, I know I can get it at least to ten.
