13 pages...two weeks...that's just a page a day! And a day to edit/type/print/collapse! A page a day, pshaw, you could do that in your sleep. Easy peasy. ;) *waves Regency equivalent of pompoms*

It's not even for editing. I have until May for that, I'm just trying to pound out the full length of the draft before the end of March so that I have enough time to edit before my defense.

Anyway, I wrote four pages last night, so now I'm down to only nine left!

So fun--you sound like my friend last semester when she was working on her Honors thesis. (Jane Austen)

[lotesse]

Oh my lord. I love Austen (sorta), but I could never produce this much text on her. Wow.

[amelia-petkova.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I could produce that much non-fiction writing on anybody! I admire you both. (And we're taking the Austen course this semester, so I keep reminding her "Let the other kiddies answer; we weren't all immersed in Austen up to our eyeballs last semester!" :) )

[lotesse]

Ha! I know how that goes.

(icon twins!)

I know! And the best part is, I didn't even plan it; this has been my default icon from the beginning. I thought of using a different one because of yours but decided, "Ah screw it, I wanna see what happens!" The Pre-Raphaelites kicked ass.

Have you ever read any of Dante Rosetti's stuff? He's not his sister (see journal tagline for Christina fangirling), but he's not half bad either.

I love Christina Rossetti. I think a poem of D. Rossetti's is in a Norton anthology from a previous class, so I'll have to look that up.

As far as pre-raph painters go, my favorite is J.W. Waterhouse.

By the way, where would I find a tagline of yours that isn't in the current entry? (Of course I thought of this immediately after posting the previous reply.)

[lotesse]

Also, I keep meaning to offer this - feel free to tell me to buzz off you if you're into unorthodox icons - but if you want a version of yours modified to a square or with text added, I'd be totally happy to make one for you. Or several :)

Ooh, I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!
