Inquiry submission

I have just submitted my dissertation. I have mixed feelings.
I kept tampering with it until the end, which is not a good thing. It can leave you head spinning and a bit word-blind.
But, I think I always felt that way in the closing days of submitting module work so perhaps it's just committing the work for scrutiny that makes me feel uneasy. Whatever the reason - it's finally done.

Amendments : From Inquiry to Hey Jude

Under advisement I have just made amendments to my Evaluation. Next up : changes to Analysis.
It's interesting that whilst making these amendments I felt the project slipping away from me, even though I know they can only improve the piece. I had grown atrached to the form of the original. This reminded me of script writing. Sometimes you can grow attached to a line or a scene, even though inside you know it disrupts the balance of the piece. But you must look at the bigger picture and know when to make changes. This is what it is to craft something. As Paul McCartney once said "It's not about the notes you added, but the notes you leave out."
