I've managed to read 4 books and write 4 drafts of my proposal, so I guess. I also figured out a new way to use Post-its to organize myself. I write why the thing is useful for my writing and stick that on the front of a book. They look like this:
-political = distinction b/w friend/enemy -ASEAN as depoliticization of region -Aihwa Ong, citizenship
Then I just consult my notes. Works better than keeping it all in my head, plus I tend to organize spatially anyway (there's a governmentality pile, a development theory pile, and so on).
you asked in my journal, but I guess I'll just post a general reply here:
I've got about seven pages of one paper done and about 4 pages of another. The three other papers are much quicker things to write so I haven't touched them yet.
I'm feeling good about things- so far. I have alot of research done, I just have to write. But I did drop the idea of sending in a paper proposal to the journal- as perfect an issue it seems to be for me, I just haven't been able to think up a paper idea. I'm a little disapointed in myself as far as this goes, but I accept it.
It's really helped, because I feel accountable. After my doom-laden supervisor meeting tomorrow I'll write the first section, and if three get written before next weekend I'll be able to almost not feel guilty.
I think I am my 15 page paper turned out to be 20 and it's done now i'm working on paper number two. it's 4.5 pages so far and has to be 10-12 then paper 3... lots of thought, little writing is what my prof says. He wants no more than 5 pages, and i'm worried about keeping it under 5, it is a paper discussing what I would do with a client he presented.
