Mab's MA Blog

Ok, I'm setting myself a challenge to do something towards my MA dissertation every single day for a year. Now this is problematic for a start, considering that my dissertation should be in, marked and me, hopefully, trying on my graduation robes by June. *grin* Therefore my 'Year of...' won't necessarily be a year. It'll be until this thing is done, then a re-think.

Draig Athar told me to set out my guidelines first, so that when the nagging starts, they are all nagging against what I said I'd do.

The criteria for this 'Year(ish) of...' are therefore:

* Something must appear in here for every day. Though it might not necessarily be updated every day, it must show that I did something.

* As it is an academic work, then some days will involve just thinking. This is acceptable as long as the thinking isn't 'OMG! Nobody panic! Nobody panic!' and more along the lines of working out specific things for the dissertation.

* Work such as photocopying, hunting down sources etc counts, as these can be VERY time-consuming.

* Research and note-taking also counts.

* As does writing up.
