Excuse this self-indulgent post, but I would like to update hillyg, my new favourite forum member who gave me a kick in the pants and helped me get out of a terrible writing slump, on how my writing is going.
hillyg, I talked to my supervisor and confessed my problem (my name is Piglet and it has been 13 days since I wrote a word of my thesis) and together we agreed on a deadline (October 14) for the draft of my next chapter. It is achievable, but will require some dedication to my computer for the next 10 days. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for your motivational post. You rock!
