Redrafting - Day 9
I am trying to add some added comparisons to this TH2 Monster. I have used Charlotte Perkins Gilman - The Yellow Wallpaper and Henrik Ibsen - A Doll's House, but only in passing as I have just Too Much To Right About, Not Enough Space and I have to Pare Back As It is. Right now, I can truly identify with Perkin Gilman's character going slowly mental because she is confined to barracks. Also I have had to fight off migraine, great, so I am avoiding chocolate and coffee today :-/

Alas, if I don't get this sorted by midday Thursday, I will kick it to the kerb. It is meant to be a Gothic novel and right up my street, but I don't warm to the characters, nor am a keen feminist. Just not into it.
15:44
I have come to the conclusion that I will never get this right, so I am just going to pare back on the words. I have to lose 177 words (bringing the essay down to 2,200 - or 2,000 with 10% margin) and just resubmit, knowing that at my present level of education, I cannot significantly turn this around without starting from scratch and even then, I do not have the guarantee that I can do it. My mistake was not annotating the text in the first place, plus not having an interest in either subject does hamper one. So, mission ::: lose the wordage. I am not going to burn myself out on an assignment that I cannot significantly turn round in time - over and out.
20:18
It is done. Tomorrow is the sticky political essay IN3 (which I didn't totally cock up, but will need a rethink).
