Since I missed half of the workshop, I had no idea where the esteem score come from (it’s very likely that the list is evaluated by Australian scholars considering the second place of AJET). Anyway, it can be a reference to the journals in our field.

It’s a slow and agonizing process. Then I borrowed a book from the library titled “Writing your dissertation in 15 minutes a day“. What an eye-catching title!

I browsed through it a little bit, I guess the first message the author wanted to deliver was there is no magic wand; writing should be a consistent process. The so-called 15 minutes writing a day helps people form a habit of deliberating on the topic.It also helps to see that writing is not painful just for me. It mentioned many people would rather washed the toilet floor than writing. As I keep reading, I found that 15-minute thing is just for getting things started. What he really recommend is 3- 6 pages, around 1000 words free writing a day. Keep this habit of freewriting and make a mess first.

Draft 0 –> 1
Read through the mess and try to find the gem: themes, interesting questions.

Draft 1 –> 2

    • work on one chapter at a time.
    • leave the introduction and conclusion untill last; leave editing untill last; leave smoothing transition between paragraphs untill later stage.
    • make a outline, or try to condense a paragraph into a sentense to have a clearer picture of the flow of arguement and the structure.
    • read (silently or loudly) again and again.
