Deadlines

Feeling dead in the water? A boat of an essay overturned? A deadline looming? Chapters of a dissertation not written yet? Writer's block? Deadlines can become traplines. Come and talk it through with me. I would be objective to your thinking and give you an opportunity to talk it through afresh.

Feeling the pressure of a deadline can be frustrating but it could be stimulating, and re-energising. Make your own mini-deadlines ahead of the real ones. Make space in your timeline for family, church, exercise and the time will fit better for your academic progress. Work out that timeline with time to spare so that you are not working to the last minute expecting someone, somewhere, somehow can proofread it with minutes to spare. No. That proofreading then needs you to go over it and see why suggestions and alterations are made. Learn from that process.

So, ensure your own personal deadlines are not trap lines. Make sure there are a couple of weeks spare in case of family emergencies, illnesses or other activities that clash; make sure you have time to breathe and not panic.

So contact me and let me talk it through with you. We can prepare for the pre-submission proofread. We can ensure your writer's block is not a deadlock.

Don't panic. Contact your supervisor. I can help if you wish. I do charge for my own livelihood's sake but the first encounter zoom is discounted. Contact me on adyerdon@gmail.com or the Whatsapp button on the site/ google contact.
