One of the last paragraphs in the research lecture hit home with me. So often I have a very weak thesis and write and write and write and write. Finally when I get to the end, I figure out what my thesis SHOULD have been in first place and have to start all over.
I’ve always hated research as I thought of it in terms of the old research papers we all had to do in school … the ones where the teacher assigns the topic and you had to have ten references from different sources … blah, blah, blah. It’s a bit more exciting to think of researching to make myself sound more credible in either non-fiction or fictional writing. It’s kind of like the detective shows I love to watch on TV. Like an investigator, you never know what clues you might encounter and where they will lead you.
