    elfen - hope tomorrow is a better day.

    'grats beanie on finishing your assignment. What course are you doing? I can't remember if you told me :o

    Buffy - you are welcome to my introduction but you would have to write about employees at work - I'm assuming you might struggle to work that in :D

    I have got down to 12k words (just over) so only 1k words to go. Would love to get that done tonight so I could send it to tutor but as I need to leave for work at 6.30 tomorrow I think that is pushing it. I can't really have a late one with a loooong drive ahead of me as it isn't very safe.

    I have a week to the end of my extension so should be able to do it.

    Buffy - why not start with some content and return to the intro when you know what it is introducing?

    Buffy, i was told that you should do the intorduction last, so you can introduce what you have written.

    900 words left to remove. I have not yet taken the step my tutor recommended of moving some text to the appendices - to summarise it in a sentence and drop the detailed paragraphs into an appendix. I'm scared of doing it so have been putting it off, but having thinned out 500 words by pruning, I'm unlikely to be able to get the other 900 without serious text revision :(

    Feels good tho, to be getting it pruned.

    katsu, it's ok to be in an appendices if it's still explained but later on
