Thesis writing

So the time is coming up fast for me to have a thesis written for my master's degree.  Bah.  I'm not so sure I can do this.  Oh, yeah, a year or two ago I was all gung ho and "I'm gonna be a science writer" and now that it's time to begin actually writing, and querying and publishing, I'm chickening out.  

I have my classes under my belt, and though it was not a traditional education, I feel quite well educated through the ILPS program at Antioch McGregor.  (Don't get me started on them, I will digress quite a while and wax poetic about their virtues.)  I'm scared, though, because not only do I need to live up to their standards, I have to live up to mine. 

I feel a little like Charlie Brown just as he gets ready to run toward Lucy holding the football.
