Natalie, However you are feeling, it HAS to feel good to have gotten to page 222, and do I understand you correctly? You've finished a draft of your dissertation? One way or another: I am in awe. Present and future dissertation writers may soon join outside your house in a vigil of awe. We will light candles and wonder if by sitting near you, we too might become better and faster writers. Congratulations!
