What's that Self? 1000 more words of this essay to write and you've decided it's the perfect time to redesign your journal, and organise your tags? Oh dear, sometimes you really are too transparent. Yesterday I decided to hoover rather than write. The silly thing is, I'm actually really enjoying this essay. It's one of the ones I was supposed to write over xmas, but was too poorly to do so. So now I have loads of extra time to spend on it, a situation I'm entirely unused to. I'm actually able to edit and polish, rather than just desperately type to get it in on time!
I'm writing about the sexual subversion of fairy tales, and it's an awesome subject. When I started I really thought I would struggle to write 3500 words, but now it's clear I'm going to run out of words long before I run out of stuff to say. The best thing is that it's making me feel more positive about my dissertation. With a little bit of discipline (ha!) I might actually be able to pull it off!
Anyway, all of this has led to me being ridiculously recluse-like, I'm not sure I've changed out of my pj's for the past few days! Expect more diversionary, procrastinatory exercises as the day continues!
(Journal design from
thefulcrum as I at least had the sense to realise that designing from scratch would take far too long!)
