Writing an MA thesis...

... is hard!

But I'm glad to share with you all that I have started my "pee" on _Hush_. For those who are unaware of the process of peeing, it was suggested to me by Chantal Nadeau during my undergrad and I have found it to be a very good method. To pee is to put on paper everything that comes to mind about a specific topic, theory, book and so on. To make sure I get everything down that might be useful for the final thesis-product, my pee process with _Nightwood_ & _Hush_ is to re-read the book, keyboard at hand. I note down everything that strikes me as interesting, page by page (or, rather, paragraph by paragraph). I also transcribe passages from the book that would be interesting quote material and, of course, elaborate on anything I wish, letting my mind wander with the hopes that some insightful thought will find its way on the page and after in my thesis. I then print out and re-read my notes and organize them by theme, that I then order into the first draft of the chapter in question. This process works well, but it is quite long when doing it in-depth, as I am, on such long and especially complicated novels.

Of late, my brain tires quickly.
