I’ve been hacking and slashing my way through my Activities of the People paper, inserting a much stronger (and coherent) argument while removing stuff that is now superfluous. It’s painful. My brain is hurt. I’ve reached the point where I have to rewrite the conclusion and then go back over the whole paper with an eye to better integration of the new point. It hurts. It hurts so bad. But the final draft is due tomorrow.

I hope I haven’t cut too much. The fear that I have is palpable. 😦
