I have approval from my professor to send it to the committee, so I did. The committee gave me some corrections to do. 4 years ago

After a week of full-time writing, I’ve finally finished writing my thesis! With some kind of final sprint today, as you can see in the graph I’ve made from the numbers in all previous posts.

As usual I’m not quite satisfied with the end result. Especially the last chapter/conclusion is a bit rushed. You could perhaps say that I did that intentionally (and also due to time issues), so I can test my supervisor. If he approves this, I will seriously doubt his expertise! But on the other hand, I’ll be very happy if I don’t have to write another word. ;)

Today I start with a wordcount of 16072 words. This means I’ve written 2737 words yesterday! I hope I will finish chapter 4 today and start collecting information for the next chapter (which is also the conclusion!) 4 years ago

Yesterday I started with 11592 words, because I hadn’t written much the day before. But today I start with 13335 words, meaning I’ve written 1743 words in one day. Woohoo! 4 years ago

My wordcount is at the moment 11312. But I must add that I’ve added some parts from summaries I wrote earlier, and they are still in Dutch and in shorthand like ‘sentences’. So I have to rewrite about 875 of those 11k words. 4 years ago

9450 Words so far. This means 3,5 chapters (hoping to finish chapter 4 today) and 25 pages. 4 years ago

I’m not planning on writing today, because I also have to work on my project in order to graduate. This project will be a prototype of a concept that I came up with based on the research in my thesis.

But I’ve done quite a lot yesterday, so I wanted to let you all know that I now have 8466 words, and that chapter 3 is more or less finished! This means that I’ve written 1382 words yesterday! 4 years ago

Starting at 7084 words today, maening I’ve only written 627 words yesterday.

By the way, I have to hand in the complete version at august 11th. Hence the title of this post. 4 years ago

Today I start with my wordcount on 6457 words. This means I’ve written 1025 words yesterday! 4 years ago

But I know that I like making lists. Just like the other ‘things’ on this site: reading books, watching films, I like to keep track of the things I’ve done (books I’ve seen, films I’ve watched) in Excel or whatever.

So why not do this with my thesis? If I look at this project as a ‘listable thing’, if I can check off things I’ve done, perhaps I can make some progress.

So from now on I’ll be keeping track of my wordcount. My last paper I wrote (and was very keen of it), had about 14000 words. I think this thesis will end up having more, but its a starting point.

So far I’ve written 5432 words (what a nice number!) and I plan on adding at least a thousand words each day and list it on this site. 4 years ago

I am extremely frustrated with my professor. She tells me one thing, then when I write it up, she says it is wrong. She either doesn’t know what she is doing, or she doesn’t remember what she has told me to do. Next week is the last week of the semester, and I still do not have a completed proposal. 4 years ago

I can’t seem to sit down and continue writing. Even doing the dishes is more interesting than writing the stupid thing. Aaaaaarrg! 4 years ago

There are so many wonderful things going on in my life and I’ve met so many amazing people online that I often wish my master thesis would write itself ;-). Unfortunately this is not the case and hiring a ghostwriter no option. I’m intending to use 43 things to report my progress.
