I've finished drafting all 8 chapters of my dissertation!! I hope to have to make only minor revisions from this point on. (We'll see.) According to my professor, I should be finished this spring.
I'm not going to take the time right now to count all my words, footnotes, etc--I think it's around 85,000 words or 350 pages.
And I'm not going to count the number of hours it's taken me either! :)
Hooray! Spring isn't far away. You can do it! Definitely don't count up those hours. Start counting down instead.
