marcusmarcusrcI just sent an actual draft of one of my chapters to my committee chair. I might actually be approaching a finished thesis. Still have to have a committee meeting to discuss scheduling a defense date, and to make sure they are all on board with what I am proposing.
Plus, my thesis is now about 50% longer (by word count) than the single longest previous piece of work I've ever written (which was a tie between my master's thesis and a writing group story). Which is good. The sad part is that I realized I once wrote 15,000 words in four 8 hour days for my general exams, and right now it is a really good day if I can manage 1000 words (sometimes it is a good day if I make one figure, depending on the figure). And I still have a _lot_ I haven't written yet.
Anyway, to reward myself I think I'll go get sushi and a haircut. Not at the same place, though. =)

Congratulations on the chapter being done!

See my last post on the worrrrrrying of a word: I truly believe that as one's ability to discern the quality of a phrase or sentence improves, it can take longer to get the "right" sentence down. Then there's practice practice practice.
There are sushi and haircut combo places-- but I've only heard of them in Japan!
