concise
I cannot for whatever reason BS my way into 10000 words. I am the definition of concise writer, I go right to the point, explain it, and leave it at that. I feel if I repeat myself I am undermining the intelligence of the reader. For my dissertation, I have figures, tables, flow charts, graphs but way less words than the minimum required. By the time I am done completely with all the sections, I am pretty sure, I will be at most at the 7000 word count, with 30-32 pages. How the hell am I going to add 3000 words out of nowhere? I just can't! And the worse is that every time I send it to my supervisor for revising, he manages to REDUCE my word count. And he doesn't give any hint as how to make it longer at all.... I suck at writing. :(

How does he reduce it?! And well, for now, just complete all the sections. Hand it to me, I will tell you what I can't follow, and you can add explanations there. Yes?
ReplyDeleteDon't stress about the words. Just write what you think, and give to me when you're done! :)
You and me both...10000 is brutal!!!
ReplyDelete10,000?!?!?! My god, that's torture!! I don't understand why there has to be a certain word count you have to reach.
