24 May 2008 Methodology

I am trying to write the methodology chapter. I am working by answering each question as it presents itself. This is a good approach. Very reassuring to put yesses and nos beside things but I find myself wnating more information before answering any question. For instance can I ahve propositions in a pluraslist strategy? I'm sure I can. At a particular part of it. Welll, how many parts do I have? Survey and case and blog analysis somewhere. Ok well, what is each part meant to achieve? Agghhhhh.

I think what P was suggesting when he said that I was covering the material but writing like a first year was that I was keeping the story telling part of the literature to myself. I think I'm realizing that part of being an academic is including your own interpretation of the facts with them. You've got to tell a story around what you're talking about. As the Galway reviewer said: it's nice to know but not need to know because I'm not providing (at the moment) the so what part.
