Well, this is it - the final stretch in my PhD journey - my dissertation! Actually, I've been working on it since May. The inspiration for this blog came from a book I ordered last week, Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes A Day by Joan Bolker. It came today, and I've read about half of it in the past couple of hours.
The book is an easy read with some good tips. Although Bolker admits that she doesn't know anyone who has actually written their dissertation in only 15 mins a day, the point is you must write something every day even if it is only for 15 mins.
One of the things that Bolker suggests is that one "become the researcher of your own work process" (p. 3). Thus my motivation and rationale for starting this blog. I intend to use this blog to post at least 6 days a week a short reflection on my progress. I hope others who are in this dissertation journey or who have completed it or who are anticipating it will contribute their learning, experiences, and questions.
