Thanks for your patience, dear readers, for putting up with my lack of blog activity the past month. The Muses have been smiling upon me this week, and I have been able to generate almost 25 pages of dissertation text in that time, putting me into the literal home stretch of this multi-year research project.At this rate I will finish before my self-imposed deadline of October 31 to produce a draft that I think is worthy of the time my committee members will be spending in their efforts to help me improve the document (read: "shred my pathetic attempts at passing myself off as a scholar").
Though inevitably I will still have quite a few hours of revisions and corrections to make, it is gratifying to know that I am almost over the hump of the "bulk" work of writing this blasted dissertation.
