I hate structure

29/07/2008

Why can I not just present my ideas in bullet point and let my readers work out the line of argument they want to take through them. That would truly be a postmodern thesis.

Sigh. Supervisor numero due wanted me to put together some rough word count ideas for my thesis plan. Haha. This meant I decided to go through all the sections I have written so far and try and work out what I have, word-count-wise, on each topic. If only it were so easy. I should know by now that things don’t fit into neat little boxes of structure with flowing arguments. Working out whether constitutional structures should be talked about before citizen behaviour is frankly the least of my worries. Oh this year is going to be so much fun. 80,000 words of writing here I come. To think that the easiest bit is going to be explaining Foucault and making him relevant.

Hopefully the fact that I’ve done most of the actual work will help? Hopefully. If only because I procrastinate more when I’m reading than when I’m writing. Eeeeeeeee.
