Wonderful Feeling

I have that wonderful feeling of finishing a piece of coursework. The formatting and referencing is done (why does it always take longer than I think?) and I just have to print it off. I now have the outline of my second novel and just want to write it; I can see the characters, know how my protagonist feels and I'm ready to give them life. There is, however, the small matter of my first novel i.e. my dissertation.
I have my first dissertation tutorial on Tuesday and have five months to produce 40,000 words of the best writing I can. I'm feeling inspired this week as a former graduate of the course, Christy Lefteri, has just published her first novel.

A precedent has been set and I have no excuses.
