Stated

My last major dissertation chapter (critique of the assumption that social movement effectiveness can be measured in terms of impact on the state) is finished! Weighs in at a little over 4,000 words, making it the longest thing i've written this year.

Still to do on that score:

Tidy up chapter on social movements theory, nothing like up to scratch

Conclusion

Check introduction - does it still match the rest of the paper?

Front page - title, table of contents

Proofread/edit the whole thing

Eventually, print and get bound

Ok, the thing itself isn't that near completion, but getting the bulk of the writing out of the way is still an achievement...
