Trying to motivate

I have been diligently trying all day today to see if there is anyway out of analyzing actual manuscript variants, if I could instead just use the published version of a saga and be done with it. But nope, I think not. My training, my standards, my desire to get at something close to the truth, whatever it is, won't let me get off that easy.

I know of course that it will be hard, though perhaps only someone who has actually gone through a process knows exactly how hard it can be.

Hopefully I am overestimating, and not underestimating!
