PeChaWriMo(s), part II

Well, last time I did this, it did help keep me focused, in a way (even if I did wildly miss my target completion date). I think it helps to have some sort of external accountability, and in some small way, updating the progress bar gives me a sense of that.

So. This is the home stretch. The final chapter of my thesis. If I can handle it right, this chapter won't even be followed by a conclusion (though it's possible that it might be followed by a very brief coda, if I end up feeling one is needed; I'll also still have my introduction to write).

In my initial timeline, I'd planned to have this completed last month. Now, I want a draft of it completed by the end of August at the latest, so that's two months of writing, which comes out to 40 working days (taking weekends off). I am planning for it to be a little longer than I planned for the last chapter (though shorter than the last chapter turned out to be). At 12K words, I need to be writing at least 300 words each day. For calculation purposes, we'll say that I started on July 1.
