PhD Word Count
I saw anr had word counts for her various fics, and I like the idea of keeping track of how many words you've written on that thing that's hanging over your head. For me, the hanging thing is my phd. So here it is:
15,100 / 70,000
(21.6%)
I'm also going to keep track of my projected finishing dates. According to my supervisor I should have it finished within 3 months. Since that thought makes me laugh hysterically (by hysterically, I mean with hysteria), I've decided to aim for 6 months. From 15th May 2006. And I'll give myself an extra 4 or 5 weeks on top of that, just in case. So, I'll be finished by Christmas, this year, which is why this entry is dated December 25th. Right.
Expected Completion Date: 14th November 2006
But I'll allow until: 25th December 2006
ETA: I've revised my word count down, because it looks like I'll be writing about 180 pages, which is more like 70 000 words. I think.
30/05: Just wrote my discussion and my brain is broken.
15/06: I now have (incomplete) drafts of 4 chapters. And no brain left at all.
