I become increasingly sad waiting for response on my submitted manuscripts. That's so frustrating. I know it's normal, but still waiting for weeks after the reviewers completed their recommendation is really nerve wrecking

Hello,

I hope you are doing good.

I have read your thread, and i am interested in supporting you.
I also need some motivation.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Naimat

Hi everyone, how are you all doing? I've been working on my literature review, and made good progress, although it feels too long, so I may to have cut out quite a bit, but I'm plodding along!

Zutterfly, really pleased to hear you are making excellent progress, well done! :)

I believe that's a good strategy to leave cutting up to the end. I partly dread that part of cutting out words. I always thought I'd have too less to say.

I've got to tackle the conclusion too after the literature review chapter, I think that's going to be a difficult task. I should worry about it when I get there ;)

Hi all, sounds like a positive week so far Hoping to be inspired by some of your energy.:D When you hoping to finish the lit review, Hugh?

I'm knackered, but working on chapter 2. I emailed ahead to tell my supervisor I'm re- submitting it at the end of March- so now just have to follow through!

I tend to get overwhelmed in quotes and details so may borrow your bullet point approach to re-map it out, Zutterfly.

Welcome Naimat. Hope the week's treating you well- what are you working on?

Hugh- If it helps reassure you, I have not found the conclusion too difficult so far. I am capping it at 7k though and I think when I write it in full it will be just the right amount (hopefully!)

It has actually been very rewarding to look through my previous chapters and make notes as it is nice to see it all tied together quite neatly :)

So you're dreading the conclusion and I am dreading editing my lit review haha.

myoldmonkey- I hope that you meet your deadline! Yes the bullet point approach has always worked well for me, as it is then just a case of writing it out in full and deleting any 'weaker' bullet points.

Hello everyone,
I have just seen this thread. I would like to join you guys. Good luck all of you.
I am too on the verge of finishing. Although i still have to write the introduction, the conclusion and many modifications here and there, I try to keep myself positive and not break down. I say so because I want to submit within one month but my supervisor thinks it is still not ready. But I will prove him wrong, I will be able to manage. I need to finish and start off with my life.
