Just keep goin' on

I keep reading and taking notes. I keep writing. Some day, my dissertation will be done.

Keep at it. Took me a long time. For a long time I was 80% reading/taking notes, 15% thinking and 5% writing. I think to get done it needs to get to 10%, 40%, and 50% . . . (i.e., there's almost always more to read).

But the race goes to the tortoise not the hare . . .

It ebbs and flows in how much I have to say on an idea. I found after I began writing this chapter that I had less formulated than I thought and I had to go back to the books in large part to get me thinking again.

Bill- port, coffee, port, coffee, repeat process until done with dissertation.

I would like to clarify my earlier advice. Port is only beneficial to writing when consumed in the evening hours and with great moderation. Coffee is always good for the writing process no matter what time it is.

Good luck Bill, and forget the note taking, just write!
