Making Progress ... Slowly
There has been a lot going on the last few months. I have been struggling to
get my dissertation done. The biggest obstacle has been locating participants
for a qualitative study. I finally got responses to my recruiting efforts and
have been able to interview 7 people. That's not a great response, but is
better than nothing (which is what I had in the past!)
and allows me to move
forward. Did I say I was excited?
Having finally gotten the data collected, themed, coded, and all the other
things you do to qualitative data, I finally sat down to write. For the past
four and a half
days that's pretty much all I've done: write. yes, I have literally been
writing 8 - 10 hours a day for the past nearly 5 days. And I'm not done. I'm
getting close, mind you, but I haven't crossed the finish line. I hope to do
that soon.
