Refining and Reworking Through the Mambo-Jumbo

Am I going in circles?

I guess I would go so far as to say I made incremental progress by virtue of the fact that I went over the first section of identifying at-risk learners. But it pays to never second guess my topic. In fact, I must likely need to be an expert of what I want to say and then decide just how I am going to say it.

I realized that it pays to read more around the niches, wade through the literature and the corners of my mind, until I realize what it is I want to say as I reach the fine inner layer.

I'm pretty convinced that this will take some practice, but will get easier with time if I just accept these incremental process and see them as smaller divisions and pieces of the larger whole.

So, I will continue to do this tomorrow - revising and rewriting but I promised myself to do some research.

I'm a stubborn soul - I like to put all the cards of what I know on the table and only then, to complement them with the research. I think this tactic is a good approach - something like 'brainstorming' with my students - giving them an ego boost of what they know around a topic, in this case, my teaching experiences and dealings with at-risk learners and then to take it from there by reading the literature. I don't at all feel confounded by this plan only a bit stressed by the sudden nature of the way my mind has been working of late.

Well enough excuses. Back to writing. Anybody else with experiences of how they coped with a massive book project?
Happy Writing y'all!
