I am finishing up the sections that I have put off until the end. This means that they are not as well researched, not fun to write, and very much procrastinated on. Specifically, I have neglected to research data communication. I thought have more articles than I really do. Luckily, this section does not have to be robust as it is a jumping off point for another paper.
I am feeling like I have a whole paper, but I know that I am not even close to done. At this point I have so many doubts about my topic, my research, and my writing that it feels a bit overwhelming. I am dreading going back through to organize and edit everything. I am getting my peer editors to read through everything starting on Saturday. But at this point, I am way too embarrassed to have anyone look at it. I am really hoping that there are not gaping holes and just small edits that are easy to accomplish by next Friday. In order to be productive, I know I have to put aside these doubts and just make it better and better. Maybe making a list will help? or make me more stressed out….UUGGHHHHH
