Procrastination plus

It's been nearly two weeks since I sent off my manuscript for assessment. In that time you'd think I'd have been hard at work on my exegesis.

I haven't done a damn thing.

I was thinking that maybe I'd look at changing the books I'm writing about for the case study section. I'll definately stick with Sonya Hartnett's Surrender. But I'm wondering if there's a more suitable book than The Tulip Touch.

The Tulip Touch is a fantastic book. But it's aimed at a lower age group than both Girl in the Shadows and Surrender so I'm starting to wonder if it's the most appropriate book for a case study. Perhaps I'll have a look around and see if I can find any recent Australian YA novels that deal with mental illness in any form. At least that way I can kid myself that I'm actuall doing something!
