Editing

I'm now thick in the editing stage.  My advisor and I are doing this in terms of small edits and big edits.  

Small edits -- 20 pages a time, just a sort of cleaning and rearranging.

Big edits -- larger changes, adding in more research, etc.

Two small edits are done (so about 2/3 have been edited in some form).  The first big edit is due on Tuesday.  Yikes!

Not much time, really.  Now, technically, I can't remember when I'm supposed to defend by.  First week of May, I believe.  (Luckily my advisor is generally more on top of these things than I.)  But I'd really like to get this thing done by the middle of March.  Before Spring Break, anyway.

The new (and final!) quarter beings March 31.  I'd like to go into knowing the big stuff is out of the way.  Since I'm taking both Chaucer and Magic in Medieval Lit, I would like to be able to devote all of my time to my studies.

"20 pages a time" - Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch... I've never written that many pages ever. How do you keep it organized?
