I’m also here on my thesis. I needed to read this! I only have 80 line edits left - it feels so good. Thank you for writing and sharing. It’s given me the spring of motivation I needed xxx
Ha, I hope it's real! I've definitely had the experience of thinking I was close to done only to realize I…was not. But looking back on those times that feeling of “nearly done” was more wishful thinking. Wanting to be done when I knew deep down that I still had a ways to go. I think we know when things are locked in (deadlines help too).
Love the comparison between boxing and writing and the Lutz article recommendation!!!
