How can I use the word "backlog" properly? Someone has corrected this phrase I wrote: "What I was doing last tuesday? I remember waking up very early in the morning because I had so much backlog of my dissertation on connectionism and I had an appointment with Mr. Campbell at noon in order to fix some details of my paper". I wanted to say that I had an accumulation of uncompleted work related to my dissertation. How can I use "backlog" properly? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
