Man, I HATE not writing more frequently. But my parents have been here since Tuesday, and the pattern of my daily routine has changed: sightseeing; sitting on the porch and chatting; watching movies. It's great to have them here, but it makes me realize how much of my time was solitary and word-related: reading, writing, surfing.
In stray spare moments lately I've read "How to Write Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day." The title is a big fat lie - it's about preparing yourself psychologically for the various phases of a dissertation rather than any constructive plan for actually doing the work.
I was hoping for more advice on sussing out a topic. Perhaps I should just read the theory of transitions book on post socialist cities, and take it from there...
