Worked on the New Outline

I spent 3 hours working on my dissertation today.  Thursday I should get an earlier start.  I am working my plan to re-submit my chapter 2 after reading and digesting Margaret's remarks.  Today I finished doing the outline.  I also marked up my paper (45 pages) for rewrite.  After that I was able to examine Facebook all properties.  I added the new evidence to my outline so I will need to go back and make sure the outline still makes sense.  I also still need to check LinkedIn for new evidence.  Once I have done that I will start the rewrite.  I know I still need new evidence regarding the first section on the outline and I will start pulling those as I am doing the rewrite. I am happy with today's progress.

Working on 4th revision of Chapter 2

Ok it has been a minute but I am back.  I have been traveling for my work with Pryor but I am off the road for a few weeks and I desperately need to catch up.  On my last post I had submitted my work to Margaret and was awaiting feedback.  There was some sort of problem as she sent feedback but I had not received it.  Finally, when I received it I had to do some traveling and then when I was ready she was busy so now we have both decided to talk after the Christmas break which is next week.  Today is my first day working on this chapter since I submitted.  I was able to work for 5 hours and got into a groove although there was not much in the way of writing.  I spent this time reviewing Margaret's comments which at first glance seemed like a lot but after reading them in detail and re-reading my paper it was not as bad as I thought.  I have devised a new plan to get a revision to her and I will start that work on Sunday. I have not set a goal yet but I should be able to get a revision to her by Friday especially if I make good progress on Sunday.  This is it.  No more breaks.  This is my number one priority.

Latest Chapter 2 Submitted.

Today I completed my revisions and submitted my paper to Margaret!

Chapter 2 Revisions

I am back at it.  I have my revisions based on Margaret's feedback.  I worked on my paper for 3 hours today.  I will take a break now and go back over what I have taken into consideration the notes I received from Margaret before.  That may take a couple of hours.  But I am pressing submit on the paper tonight before I go to sleep.

Margaret has given me feedback on my paper.  My next order of business is to respond to her.  After that I will devise a plan to make my changes.  Once I finish that I will start the design of my chapter 3.  I am ready to do this now, but I want to close the chapter 2 chapter first.  Here is another link that I may use as well.
