I've spoken to a few students this week who have made a start on their
dissertation, whether just finding a title, or making sense of the data they
have collected. Yes, it's the second semester, and only a few months left
until deadlines.
How's your dissertation going?
As a source of inspiration, find a notebook (possible stationery shopping trip!)
whose pages make you reach out and touch them, so that you'll want to jot down
notes in it, or drawings, or quotes, or sources, or cuttings. And that's
the start of your research.
My notebooks were a series of free ones from the Ideal Home magazine; hard back, good quality, white paper, and around A6 size, so I could carry them in any bag.
What does your dissertation note book look like? Or do you use another method of inspiration?
