OK I'm on day 3 of Actually Writing and at 7000 words (of which I'll probably end up ripping out a bunch but better to get those garbage words done sooner than later?)

OK to be completely transparent it's 6998 words

10,255 today

14, 392

16,650 which is a drop from the streak of the last couple of days because I didn't get started until noon, but it's fine

18,035--like pulling teeth today, kind of just hit a hard patch that I have to wrestle with a bit. hopefully tomorrow will be better.

20,316

23,960

27,096 and I might get a little more in today?

28,937 which is not a lot words-wise but I think...these two chapters are done or at least as done as they can be for sending to my committee?

done today, for a new chapter: 1,729—not a ton but there's kind of more thinking-through-the-structure work that has to go in here and I got a later start because I did a research interview in the morning

total: 30,666 (hell yeah 666)

2,535 today / 33,201 total

2,837 written today / 38,461 but I might cut a section I wrote yesterday so maybe more like 37,449 total

1446 written / 38,409 total because of editing stuff out

1389 written today with lots of edits and moving around / 39,798 total

Got first notes back for a chapter submitted 10 days ago so updates might become more about cutting words than adding them, which is probably good

1,903 / but a lot of it was revision and cutting stuff so total is down to 39,365 whooo

Got basically nowhere on revisions today because it turns out still being mad at my advisor for mismanaging money and lying about it makes me very hostile to her feedback even if some of it is reasonable! I will get past this it's just annoying

I know I am being a baby but it is annoying to get feedback encouraging me to add contextual and analytical obvious stuff for a hypothetical undergrad reader in my dissertation when said dissertation will in fact only be read in its entirety by this committee, possibly not even all of them
