    I'd just keep writing til it's done, then compare what you've got against your plan and you should be able to see the areas in which you've got to make cuts...
  • Hi, wasn't sure where else i'd be able to get a response at this time of night so i turned to good old trusty MSE! :money:

    Try Yahoo! Answers. Most people round here, although students, will have more to say about saving money.:money:

    Hi little-miss-little

    I'm doing my masters dissertation as I write (kind of).

    how about summarising the results for the 3 surveys in a table? Or can you use bullet points?

    What always works for me is cutting up the word count between the different sections then being strict with myself to make sure I don't go over on one part, and fall short on another.

    Another option to cut it down might be to focus on a few of the differences (being those most closely linked to your aim / research questions & put a section in near the end on "suggestions for further research". You can then put a few lines in about the areas another researcher could delve into in more details.

    Hope that helps & best of luck with it!

    Edit: sorry am a bit late with this - have just reread the thread & seen that you were hoping to get it finished today!
