Step by Step

Step by Step: I am always amazed at the power of such a "small" saying...Yes, determination and "step-by-step-ed-ness" are really key attitudes to get my dissertation done, I strongly believe. I used to be more of a "binge writer" writing huge amounts one day and staring at the page/screen without nothing to say for weeks. Life (and my mentor!) and books I have read have persuaded me to do otherwise...In particular, I found the book How to Write a Lot particularly encouraging: something along the lines of "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," if you know what I mean.
