 Progress Report for June 7, 8, and 9

My article is now well over 7000 words long and I haven't even finished analyzing the writing-to-learn data. I spent lots of words on the Intro, Review of Lit, Methods, and answering the first two research questions, which I didn't even motivate enough in my Intro and Review of the Lit. 

Today, I made charts of new words and expressions I learned through writing and how I learned them and whether they were new to me or consolidation of previous or partial learning. I completed only 2 of the 6 major genres though and still have to analyze the shorter informal timed writing too.  When I was tabulating the 2 genres, I took a break to read through the first part of the document to try to unify it a bit, but wound up adding even more words. 

Tomorrow I'd like to do the same: tabulations for the chronicle which was my longest document which had the most changed and new features. If I finish that, which will be arduous, I can reward myself by going back to the second half of the prose document and unifying and editing it.

  1. More words are always better than no words. Maybe your article can be developed into a book project if many ideas have been there!
