Argh, an academic I am not meant to be. My long-suffering MPhil thesis will remain in my life for a little longer: my annual progress review did not go according to plan and I am now about 6,000 words in the hole. New submission deadline is 31 March 2014. This means I’ll have a much better thesis, but that my fiction writing is on hold for the duration. Le sigh. #firstworldproblemsofmyownmaking
