stopping
with less than 10 pages of this absolutely enormous chapter (about 70 large, two-column pages), i'm going to stop and go to bed. it has been very useful. i'm pleased with myself for going back to developmental psych prelim-assigned reading, or course-assigned reading, because it has been preselected.
tomorrow i should:
-start by finishing the chapter
-do citation searches to get the citations that were useful and put into refworks (also import the valsiner citations that are on my desktop into refworks)
-follow the trail of some of those sources, skim articles, take what's useful
-reading Maccoby 1992
-read a few of the Sigel/McGillicuddy-DeLisi book chapters
-THEN start organizing the notecards i have so far into the 'sections' of my theory chapter
-start writing -- even if disorganized, even if there are missing links and gaps -- note what they are and move on.
tomorrow is friday. i wanted to have this chapter done by sunday. i think that will be a TREMENDOUS stretch, but maybe by wednesday?
i have so much to do. i wanted to have methods revised by now, but i have to write a longer section on discourse analysis and discursive psychology. that's ok, it just takes a little more attention.
next week i'm supposed to get intro AND conclusions done. i feel like i should start with conclusions, because i've been thinking quite a bit about implications and i have a lot to say about it. oh, i guess i'll write another quick update about that in a minute. then i can do the intro which needs to be artful but is a little less intense than implications.
but for tomorrow, my task is clear, and i've definitely parked on a downhill because the first step is easy: finish the chapter.
