Do you have any publications yet? I'd love to read them! Also, do you have any tips on writing 20+ page papers? I'm doing my first 20pg piece (on Taming) and it's been such a struggle to stay organized
i don’t have any publications yet!! as soon as i have any i will be sure to let y’all know!! (according to everyone i know in phd land all we do for the rest of time is publish and write papers for publication and read other people’s papers so i’m in this for the long haul)
i tend to do a vague outline of the paper with quotations and their citations that i already know i’m going to use ready to go; that way when i’m writing the paper itself, it saves me time on trying to track down sources and specific quotes later. beyond that i am almost no help because other than that i barely plan ahead and i wing papers nearly every time i write. unless i have more than one draft of a paper due, i proofread it a few times and then it is gone from my brain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(but maddie, how can you be in a phd program if you wing papers every time you write them?? how do you deal with the stress, one might ask. the answer to that is, i don’t!!)
