I reviewed quotations on writing for a suitable quote to begin this blog. The selection was inspiring. I chose one from Stephen King because it aligns closely with my feelings:
“The scariest moment is always just before you start.”
― Stephen King, On Writing
The dissertation interview: I previously blogged about my dissertation interviews. In the spirit of what I know about how to write a dissertation, I thought it might be helpful to share one of my tools. I am using a Livescribe Smartpen to record my interviews. The pen digitizes the recordings and the written notes (which are written on special paper with exceedingly small dots). I was pleased to learn that I am able to not only save the audio on my computer, but also copies of the hand-written notes. Also, when I click on a written note, I hear the audio. I found a YouTube video demonstrating the pen.
