Dissertation Draft

Handed in a 5,500 thousand word draft on Friday. It's a bit of an ugly duckling at the moment but has the potential to grow up into a beautiful swan. I hope. Wish I'd not asked Jo Dahn what she meant by draft, and that she's not replied that it's whatever you've managed to do. I'm a woman who works to deadlines, and I lost a little of my required sense of urgency.

My writing was mostly fuelled by Key Lime Pie and Pepsi Max...



A got over her writer's block with gin and Quality Street...


J used the power of Wotsits to help with the flow of thoughts. Family packs were on special offer...

And M went the traditional route with coffee, coffee and more coffee. So much coffee that she couldn't keep still enough to type or read. A little self defeating. I'm going to survey the rest of the students and see what their choice of poison was.
