Excerpts from 'A journey to finding me' Eps 15

1st November Research organization method and why it fits my research writer personality. AS a person am inclined to want to have everything make sense for me to be able to do it. As a researcher I like to have some form of organization. Before I write down a paper or come up with one, I make a kind of diagram with topics of books I have to read, criticisms I need to come up with, arguments I might raise and peer advice concerning the topic, then I spend a few weeks filling in the diagram. At some point in the process there happens a click and at that point I start to write, whether it be my introduction or argument section or conclusion I just write. And when that is exhausted, I go back to the practicalities of searching and keep feeding my paper. This goes on until I come up with a paper, I have a friend who has been through law school and I tend to peer- review with her most of the time which has often worked out well for me. This works well for me because it makes sense but also there is a kind of form to it that I can always come back to. I know where am at as I write down during my brainstorming moments, I can see how far I have gone in the research and I am aware of what I am doing because every day I look at it and see where am stuck, or whether I need to redirect my path.
