Should I admit this?

I've hit a wall.  This is my song today.

In Search of Something Pithy!

As attention-catching as it is, the proposed first paragraph of my dissertation doesn't really apply anymore.  My research results took me in a surprising direction.

What to do...what to do?

Rereading an article Dr. S sent me early last year: "Setting the Hook," Academy of Management Journal, 2011, Vol. 54, No. 5, 873-879.  Hope that helps.

Three of Five

Just finished up three of five chapters...only the literature review and the conclusions remain.

As soon as I clean up my Methodology and Results chapters, I'm going to send the three on to Dr. Z for his review.  While waiting for him, I'll try to crank out that lit review - the current bane of my existence.

Getting close!

Am I into this or what?

It's only 8:00 a.m., and I'm already thinking about what I want for lunch.

More on the Literature Review

I recently found this lecture on the literature review from Texas A&M.  Wish I had seen this a year ago - it would have saved me countless hours.

It's by Candace Schaefer at Texas A&M's Writing Center.  She cites a very good literature review for business that is also helpful:

Allen, R. C. (1996). Socioeconomic Conditions and Property Crime: A Comprehensive Review and Test of the Professional Literature. American Journal Of Economics & Sociology, 55(3), 293.

Still here, plodding along...

Missed my self-imposed December 15th deadline, but I'm still here.  To the right is a selfie.
