Only one interview left to pull quotes from for my findings chapter and then I can move on to the part where I justify my data analysis decisions. Dissertating is mentally tiring work, y’all. It feels like the closer I should be to done the further the horizon stretches away.

Just updated my Fan Studies in LIS page to include some scholars I met at FSNNA20!

OKAY. I finished pulling quotes from that giant and awesome interview. Three more interviews left to pull quotes from, then some writing up of my data analysis rationale and some definitions…

It’s a good day for lying on a hammock and listening to an audiobook. 📷

Hello today I think my ideal job would be to read books and then write essays (not straight up reviews) about those books. Sometimes a group of books or a pairing, like I might try reading Monster She Wrote and Women and Other Monsters. 📚📝

I’m writing through a migraine right now. I have this one participant interview that’s really detailed and part of me wants to just copy and paste almost all the participant’s answers into the findings chapter because they’re so good.

I finished reading Mona Awad’s BUNNY last night. I can’t even write a review of it because I don’t have enough words to convey all the important things about it. It’s beautifully written, sad and weird. It completely blew my mind. I’m so happy to have read it. 📚

Finished reading: Bunny by Mona Awad 📚

My current writing process: mine one interview for quotes. Read a chapter of BUNNY by Mona Awad. Repeat. 📝 #amwriting 🐰
