For the 15th consecutive month, I continue to write my dissertation. I'm at least a few thousand words over the 40,000 word max, and I need to complete the conclusions. Then I will send the draft to my writer brother, he'll advise, and I will submit it to eDoc. (Since August 2024, I have been saying to myself "I'll be finished with this first draft "by the end of this month..." I am totally serious this time ;)
… My supervisors will read it, meet with me, and give me feedback. I will make final edits, then I will submit that draft to LJMU's eDoc system. It will be read by two outside reviewers, and I will have my oral defense (viva in the UK) with them this Spring. They will give me feedback, and I will make final recommended changes before submitting to LJMUs and Transart's PhD dissertation archives.
