Natalie<p>Anyone still around from two years ago when I occasionally posted about the start of my <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/PhDjourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PhDjourney</span></a> and its progress? </p><p>Update: I now have a (real) outline for my dissertation! I used the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Canvas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canvas</span></a> in <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> to visualize it. Very useful (and a free alternative to <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Scrintal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scrintal</span></a>!)</p><p>It feels a little unreal, but it seems like there's actually a book coming out of this. 🤯 </p><p>Took some valuable advice on organizing the whole thing from these two books:<br>1. The PhD Writing Handbook (very concise and straight to the point, great checklists) <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/phd-writing-handbook-9781137497703/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bloomsbury.com/us/phd-writing-</span><span class="invisible">handbook-9781137497703/</span></a><br>2. Authoring a PhD (sometimes a bit paternalistic to me, but still very useful)<br><a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-0-230-80208-7" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">link.springer.com/book/10.1007</span><span class="invisible">/978-0-230-80208-7</span></a></p><p>Now I have to start structuring the chapters. I hope to have three chapters drafted by the end of the summer. And one chapter ready for publication in an edited volume by September ... wooo, this is exciting (and, of course, intimidating)!</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/phdstudents" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>phdstudents</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/phdlife" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>phdlife</span></a></span></p>
