*deep breath* Hokay.

Day one, current word count: 0

It's vaguely worrying to realise I am, in a sense, merely repeating the strutural analysis of Lolita I did at this point last year with this dissertation. Worrying and at the same time reassuring, because I got my best mark ever for that which proves I can do it. Maybe. Sort of.

edit: More reassuring is that I just read an old LJ post proving I wrote 4,000 words of Lolita essay in *less* than 24 hours last year. I'm only aiming for around 2,000 words *a day* with this and I still have days after that for footnotes and rewrites and proofing.

I can do this. I *can*.

edit: Starting the day with a pissy email to The Dragon. Ah, that's a good feeling.

Day two, current word count: Still 0

^ That's a less good feeling.

edit: Day two, later, current word count: still 0

Dear weather,

IT IS STILL APRIL. WHY ARE YOU AS HOT AS IF IT WAS JUNE?

Have almost no summer clothes with me. Am not amused. Also, hot. Gggr. On the plus, got more helpful dissertation books from the library so, you know. It's not all bad.

And when there are vids of the Easter Bunny hilariously kicking ass in the world, nothing can be that bad. :D

Yeah!! Positive thinking wins!! (I really wish my keyboard would stop trying to write everything in caps of its own accord, although I suppose that might be good for morale in this comment.)

I'm sure you'll do it. And may I say, that's pretty impressive about your Lolita essay! :D
