Writing Retreat Conclusion

[dreams_of_wings]

This week was an almost unqualified success for me in terms of producing dissertation writing. I say "almost" because a) my focus was pretty shot by the end of yesterday and b) a variety of factors contributed to me being tragically underslept last night, leading to almost zero substantive revision work during the first work session of this

Even this

Even this description of your week is well written; it is clear and funny in parts, and of course it makes all who read it happy for you!

wooot!

you've made an important realization re: (not) working while sleep depped, and how an infant would affect that. might I suggest that unless there's a compelling reason otherwise, that you hold off on the baby project til much closer to finishing. every pregnancy is different, even for the same woman, and too much is riding on this to have your energy sapped by pregnancy nausea and exhaustion, and discomfort, etc. you might, of course, feel perfectly wonderful throughout your pregnancy, but you might not, and that's a really awful state in which to attempt to write.

but, again, WOOOOOT! on the progress this week.
