What's mildly irritating you today?

[DanaC]

That last one needs a word of explanation Tora...


What's irritating me today is writer's block. I just can't seem to find the words. Every idea I have on how to start the chapter evaporates the second I try and actually get it down. This is in the irritating thread, not the upsetting thread, because I know eventually I'll break through it. But it is pissing me off.

I had a supervision meeting yesterday. Have changed my approach somewhat having examined the courts martial records. It won;t support a statistical approach, in order to get numbers worth a damn, the sample size wuold be too big and unwieldy. A manageable sample size would give figures too low to be robust or useful. Not a problem, I can still use the evidence in a different way. We ended the meeting with an agreement that I would have a chapter on the domestic economy of the soldier completed by our next meeting in mid December.

I walked out of the room buzzing with ideas, and by the time I got home two hours later, my brain had decided to take a celebratory holiday. Marvellous.
