Writing anxiety

[frualeydis]

So I finished two chapters yesterday and now all that remains is the crucial first chapter and the summary (and the english summary). I have until mid february, but need a first version of the first chapter before the end of this month.
And I'm scared of it. This is were the purpose of the dissertation is stated, the theoretical perspective and the sources are presented and discussed. It _has_ to be good and I have to really sort out my thoughts.
I'm going to start with looking at the first chapters in a couple of dissertations to get a "feel" for what is expected.

You do know that if you want feedback, I am available... I probably can't comment on the scholarly parts, but I might catch problems with wording and sentence structure and the like.

Thanks, but it's the scholarly parts that are bothering me. But it will work out, I know, I just have to start. Right now I'm writing down how different authors have done to get inspiration. There's quite a lot of variation.

You can do it! You're the most competent person I know! And I'm totally not just saying that because I'm a crazy stalker.

You're the _best_ crazy stalker.
I will be away for the weekend, but maybe we can meet after that? I know I'm lazy always inviting you to my place because it's easier for me, but it really is, Maja is much more manageable at home than in other peoples' homes.

This cold should be over by then, so that would be very nice. And really, I spend enough time at home.

I know it's nerve-wrecking, but you can do it!

You know you're brilliant. I'll translate the English summary for you if you like.

Thanks, but I'm very good at it myself, I have written articles in english before.. I will ask someone who has english as a first language to check on it later though.
