Writing updates

So should I be giving you all the nitty-gritty about how the thesis is going? I've never written a 150 page paper before (that's my budget after a rough outline and one chapter worth of detailed). Actually, maybe my loyal readers (I'm not talking to you Ma) could offer practical advice on how to manage such a document. I sought the advice of my peers, but they didn't bite. We get stuck taking a one-hour-a-week 'thesis writing workshop', but it's mostly used to practice presentations. There's very little workshopping about actual writing.

So...discuss.

(and wasn't that a nice speech that Mr. Obama gave tonight?)
