25%!

My writing process involves writing an outline, then dropping cited information and quotes into that outline to form a skeleton that I then write into, gradually digesting the raw data and turning it into prose. That means I usually don't have a very good idea of how much I've actually written; at the moment my thesis file is around 40 pages long, but most of that is still raw notes, and since different aspects of my thesis are interesting to me on different days, the parts I've written aren't contiguous.

But I just copied out the sections that I've written and polished at least once (my criterion for making someone read my writing), and it's ten single-spaced pages! Since my thesis needs to be about 80 pages, double spaced, that means I've written a quarter of my master's thesis!

WOOOOOO!
