I'm reading up on some things you all may be reading up on.
I'm trying to figure how to start my thesis.
Option 1: take the manuscript I have already put together and use that for the thesis, therefore taking it "easy" this last year, at least when it comes to generative effort.
Option 2: write an entirely new manuscript/thesis, therefore being way too ambitious for what?
Option 2 is sounding good. Jury is still out, though. As am I, after that cliche.
