Dude, twenty pages is a lot. How do people ever write books? And this is the adaptation paper, too. I bet I’ve written more than twenty pages all together about adaptation, between entries here and in my notebook. Yet when I try to make it coherent and support a thesis, rather then, “hey, that’s a really awesome idea!” it doesn’t work. Grr. Also, the paper used to be about Bride and Prejudice, and now it’s more about adaptation, which is fine–but it feels like two papers instead of one. I dunno. I’m at sixteen pages, and I don’t think I can write any more tonight. I know I’ve got another paragraph or so for sure to go in the adaptation part, but the B&P part feels very…random and unclear, mostly because since I moved the focus to adaptation, it doesn’t seem to fit anymore. It’s not necessarily the best example of what I’m trying to convey, but I don’t have time to go find a better example and analyze it. And they want me to publish this thing. Yeah, right. I’ll be glad just to get it turned in.

I decided I’m not a fan of this needing-to-have-a-point-when-I-write thing.
