Master of the First Draft

Holy crap. I just sent the first draft of my master’s project to my reader, Ann. I’m so excited. It took me four whole days to write it (after months and months of research, interviews, etc., and a few lunch breaks in which I started the writing). I took two days off from work to get it done, and I think forcing myself to sit and work helped. And a deadline. That’s always good for me. Oh, and a shiny new computer on which to write it. That was a great motivator, too.

I really like how it turned out. I hope Ann does, too. And I hope she gives me the great feedback she always has on my class papers. I know she will. If we can get this taken care of in a month, I will be graduating at the end of May. Wow. This is finally happening. How exciting!
