Hi all!

Somebody pleaseeeeeeeee give me a kick up the backside! I'm writing an essay for my Masters at the moment, and I have to post it tomorrow. I still have 2400 words to write and I have no motivation. I've had the flu all week so this is the first day I've actually felt well enough to write anything, but it's after 12.30 and I still haven't got started, aaarrrgggghhhhh!! :sigh:

All kicks up the backside would be gratefully received!

I like working to goals ie 150 words in one hour etc to try and keep myself motivated. An intravenous drip of coffee also helps though

Now, get yourself off of here, and get writing

Ah yes, dissertation hell! I remember it well! Mine was only 10,000 words luckily, but that was more than enough bearing in mind I spent 2.5 days a week getting data at the hospital!

I'm 1800 words in now...getting there slowly! :sigh: xx

Don't even talk to me about data especially from students! Glad it is coming on, 400 words is easy, I have a problem with doing too much and waffling

Me too, but I'm working on the +/- 10% rule (haven't been told we're allowed to do that with the OU, but I'm going to plead ignorance if not ) xx
