A new draft
I took me a lot longer than what I initially though to complete the new revisions of Chapter 2. I had made the readings and was clear about organizing my ideas with an outline, but I was not able to go back to it. We usually say time is a factor, but I think it is more about taking the time, and making a conscious decision of writing whatever came to mind, using your notes to support your ideas.
Also, there is that sense of not being able to do the “right” thing. I was unsure if I had read enough or if I was able to organize my readings in a novel way. I did not want to repeat what others had said, I wanted to contribute to the literature and present my ideas in a different way. We’ll see how it worked.
So now I am going back to my data set, to continue analyzing and interpreting the data. Writing a dissertation is a slow process, but in general you just need to keep at it. :)
