Today I proofread my chapter 1. I like what I have so it is time for feedback. I made all of my edits and changed the arrangment to get a better flow. Hopefully, I can make the edits that come back from Margaret and be ready to move on to chapter 2. I also sent a copy to Dr. Jane Margolis of UCLA. She wrote one of the books I use heavily. In the meantime I will start to prepare a plan to write my chapter 2. It has been a while so I need to revisit what it is supposed to be. Here is the plan:

1) Read from Creswell and The Dissertation Journey
2) Review notes from Margaret
3) Look at hints from dissertation group
4) Read chapter 2 of Diop, Karen, Whip
5) Compile notes and create a plan and get to writing.

Since I will have some free time since I am not working as of October 29th, I hope to work at a faster clip. My goal is to do quality work and gain an understanding of my topic and the process.
