My master's thesis was written in one very intense, tea-fueled week. Obviously this is not a viable pattern for a dissertation: I'd consign myself to an asylum within a week if I tried. A plausible alternative, however, remains to be discovered . . .
You could just write the dissertation (LJ-cut for length) directly into your LJ. Three or four posts the length of this one and you'd be finished. Well, you'd have to go back and number the endnotes, I suppose.
As a reader and editor, I enjoy learning about how authors go about creating their work. I'm a sucker for story notes, and the influence of music on imagination fascinates me. This story was more of a struggle than usual for you (it waxed and waned?), but it was worth it. I hope everyone will read "Drink Down" in Not One of Us #34 when it comes out in late September (gratuitous commercial plug) so they can see how this all turned out.
