Wrote a brilliant methodology chapter, left it to ferment in the laptop for a week while I was: juggling blocked toilets (it's a recurring theme isn't it?); mum in hospital; forgetting to tell my longtime friend and research assistant Susan the alarm code for the house (Oops - that woke up the street!), and then re-read it. That voice in my head was grumpy! and said if this is your contribution to scholarly debate you need to:
- tame runaway notes (I know enough about Stephen Greenblatt to tell the examiners what he eats for breakfast but do they care?)
- quote judiciously (I love a good quote - see previous post)
- limit jargon (is 'morphing' jargon?)
Methodology due Tuesday so I need to stop writing blog posts BUT maybe I need a coffee first. |
