Argh

Just whined over at Phantom's about my writing frustrations, and won't take any more time to whine here. Let's just say that yesterday didn't go exactly as planned. Today I will begin revising the draft and hopefully, at the very least, come up with a more precise articulation of what my THESIS really is. I am, I realize, exaggerating for effect by claiming not yet to have a thesis, but the fact is, I'm still haunted by the feeling that I haven't yet been able to put into words what's really been driving this project.

Perhaps that feeling is only a symptom of the perfectionism that has been at the crux of my writer's block all of this time. I just don't know. I do know that, in this case, concise, articulate thesis or no, I will be emailing my editor something by Monday.
