I think I have an ego problem lads and one that I suspect we have all faced. I've got a pretty good thesis draft written out and I need to make some reasonable corrections but its proving a bastard because:

1. I've gotten allot of praise over what I have written even if I suspect people don't get it which means everything I write is no longer good enough and my edits have to be very careful lest I fuck up my delicate flow.

2. I'm having to clarify some points that are not immediately apparent at the start because people need to understand the central argument of my thesis but its hard to slot it in there anywhere.

I just need to state my thesis question more clearly in truth but oh God I'm pulling shit out, editing stuff for no reason and generally making a mess of things. Any top tips you can provide for editing and perhaps knocking at that central question early on?
