I have so beaten the system.
The great thing about a fiction project is that working on it is mostly fun. Unlike most of my peers, I don't have to wrangle any 'real facts' or 'true answers', nor do I have to keep a scrupulous bibliography. At the end of a paragraph I know that the next block of text can consist of whatever I damn well please, at least within far less confining strictures than most other senior projects.
As such, I have found in my project not only a chance to grow and develop as a writer while earning my degree, but also a great way to put off far less enticing work. Yes, I should probably be working on my paper, but technically I am working. I'm not really procrastinating, in fact I'm making progress.
