I will be finishing my degree in May, after three long years of studying. I'm planning on finishing my novel over the summer, and I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to make a nice change, as I'm used to writing academic articles and essays. I'm going to try and have the book completed over the summer break, as I am starting a post graduate research degree in September, and it's likely to take up most of my time for the next four years! Ouch!
