Thanks for posting. :)
>What are the steps for completing your thesis?
If only I knew. ;) I think at this point I need to get the last bits of research done, finish writing it, and revise like crazy.
>Have you done the research?
I mostly have, but, as I said, I have a little bit left to be done to fill in some holes here and there.
>Do you have an outline?
Only a very vague one. I must admit that I am terrible at outlines.
>Have you started writing?
I have. I think I'm about a third to half of the way through.
>How long will it be?
The word limit is 4,000. I'm aiming for about 3,000-3,500, although I usually end up exceeding my goal.
>What is it about?
It's about the effects of lack of secure attachment in infancy on later life; if my plan stays the same, the focus will be on later relationships, work, and mental health.
I think my celebration is going to involve a lengthly nap, because I'm certainly going to need one by the time it's over. That or waiting until the 15th and taking advantage of post-Valentine's Day sales.
Unfortunately, I don't know that my process is solid enough to make mini-goals. Right now it consists of looking at the essay, looking at the research materials, and seeing what holes I have yet to fill in, filling in those holes, etc. I think I'll give myself until the start of classes (January 23rd) for a decent draft, though.
