'Tis a pity affirmations can't write papers...

I am a lovely, intelligent and capable woman.

I have written far more in far less time. Thirty pages (9,000 words) in less than two weeks? Ha. Child's play. I've written 20 pages in a matter of days. I've written 12-15 pages overnite.

And who cares that I've lost all drive and focus? I've lost these things before. They're hard to fake and harder to find but not impossible to do without.

Sure, I don't have a concrete thesis, just a mish-mash of ideas. So what? Thesis= totally overrated. I have read innumerable papers throughout my graduate school career that, I swear, didn't even have a thesis.

So what if this is the most important paper of my life, and that if I don't get this done, I've essentially flushed two years and fifty thousand dollars (or so- I refuse to look at my student loan bills until I have to start paying them) down the drain?

I WILL get it done. That is the key thing. The main point. The thesis of this blog (not really, but still).
