I have started to turn in some of my revised draft. The August deadline is approaching quickly, and I am majorly stressed. It doesn't help that some of my recent conversations with my committee haven't exactly inspired confidence in me (I guess that is not their job). One thing that I am learning about this process is 1) how there is good stress and bad stress when it comes to writing---good stress inspires you and gets your juices flowing, bad stress disables you; and 2) power relations make writing complicated, and this can be a bad form of stress.
