writing a thesis is a painful process

Writing a thesis, I have discovered, is a painful process, so to inspire me in my writing and to let me see an overview of my research topics, thought I'd make use of Wordle and create image clouds of each chapter as it progresses.

Finally, although it's not writing a novel, I can take some comfort from the words of one of my favourite authors, George Orwell, who said that;

May the illness end soon.
