Spent today responding to enquiries about the motivational interviewing courses, and then trying to be ruthless with a research paper I've written on my PCOS research.
It has a lot of qualitative data extracts in it, and I need to edit it from about 6,000 to 4,000 words. When I last looked at it I found it impossible to decide which women's words could be cut out. But if I want to have a chance of changing the way healthcare is offered in similar cases, I need to get at least part of the story published. A shorter paper that gets into print will have infinitely more impact than a longer 'richer' one that never sees the light of day.
Out with the metaphorical scissors I think.
