Thoughts I'm bouncing around:
- First, proposal draft to Dr. Thompson by July 1st.
- I'm going to read and work on writing at least 2 pages a day during July and August. During June, I'll be busy working for Upward Bound but July and August are just for drafting out ideas. Whether they become part of the dissertation or not, who knows, but they'll become part of my "writing out" my thoughts. Can't get to Z without going through A, B, C...
- Write one chapter a semester. Maybe two if the momentum is going. I'm going to utilize my strengths--endurance. I'm good at doing a little bit everyday. So, that's the plan. 3-4 pages a week during the long semesters. Maybe more, maybe less. This should have me completed and ready to defend in December 2008 and to graduate by May 2009.

I've always been a spurter--I worked best, or at least I thought so, in big chunks of time. When I did the Nano thing in November I paced it out, aiming for 1666 words a day (to get to 50,000 by the end of the month). It worked a lot better than I thought it would and I plan to try it this summer with the projects I'm working on.
By the way, there are some books on dissertating. One is something like Writing Your Dissertation in 15 minutes a Day. Might check out one or two, but don't go crazy and get every book out there.
