> that sounds intense! I wouldn't toss it, definately try to salvage what youve got. 40000 words, OMG that is really overwhelming!
Nah, it isn't so bad. See ya break it down into chapters and then sections and write it in 2,000 - 3,000 word bits. Just think of it as a series of essays. At the moment I have lots of 'bits' but not much continuity or flow going on. So I am trying to write it again from the beginning and I kind of insert bits that I have already written when I come to them in a logical order. Some of the bits will end up being chucked. I am also writing a whole heap more of them as I go... Will be ok in the end :-)
> I probably should.
Yup. Even if it is boring and you fall asleep I think some of it gets in by osmosis :-)
> did you ever seriously think you wouldn't get as far as you have in school?
Yeah. Thought I'd never be able to go back after my break. Dr's told me to forget it. I was terrified of returning. But it was really important to me and I made it in the end. Still have a long way to go though. It is hard at times. But it is important to me so I will just do the best I can.
