fictionalThesis writing progresses apace.
I now am correcting my last chapter (the one on Tolkien) and then I must write my conclusion about further implications for critical study. I have four hours before I have to leave for school. This is okay, I think.
There is of course a problem; I don't know what I think about my thesis anymore. Is it good? Is it solid? Will I be finished, with a perfect copy by the time it is due? Have I really done anything original? What is my writing like? You would think that my advisor's critique would answer these questions, but it is unsatisfying. It will be about 55 pages long, which is extremely short. My eternal problem. I babble so much in real life, you would think that I could extend that a little to my scholarly work. Anyway, it's still the longest thing I've ever written, and I have worked pretty hard on it. Too bad that doesn't feel like it counts for anything.
I am however very tired. Also there is thunder and lightening happening; the sky is one solid shade of depressing grey. The colorlessness begins. I feel beaten down at the very thought of it.
