It seems I have been blogging on here much more than I have on my own web site!! This is just a quick update to say I have just finished the draft of the first chapter (Late 2003- Early 2005) and have reached a weighty 5,000 words - a word count which I never thought I would reach. With that said I know chapter two will be even meatier, so expect a mammoth end result of around 25,000 words!
It is this realisation which has made me rethink a few things. Theres no way I can cut this down with what I want to achieve, so what I plan to do is make another shortened version with only the bare bones of the thesis (it will probably be in bullet points in most places). This way it won't be a nightmare to read and will have all the facts.
Couple of other things to consider - I know that a timeline of events will go in for sure, but I am pondering over other things to include. For example I know Dale suggested to put in player profiles (and I know he is a fan of them for helping with his website) but I am currently going against the idea slightly. What I will do most definitely is create a player roster, as I am in the process of doing one now to help chart events, which will list every player ever to play in TTFE and when they started and finished playing. I know this is one apsect everyone would like to see. There will be other carefully selected appendices with the kind permission of the those of you who have given me source material.
1. Get a job and use your skills! 2. You may use anything i have said or shown you. 3. I'm excited but don't feel that you have to include anything or in fact, even have to do it at all if you get bored... i know i wouldn't have the patience! 4. Well done Shabba!
