I agree! I have become a fan of Corrine Glesne and her writing style. For laypersons (doctoral students) embarking on the beginnings of the dissertation process, this book is the real deal, plainly worded and a how-to begin, progress and get it done manual. When reading her reference about the research journal, I was elated. Like Bethany, residency put me on the path to preparing now for pinning down my topic of study and writing free form notes, thoughts, topics and passions. I have been keeping a notepad of ideas that I am interested in all connected to the type of work and experience I have accumulated over the years. In recent years on the social front, I have become more passionate about issues that impact me, my loved ones and the people around me. Glesne ( 2011) cautions not to become so consumed and overly passionate with a personal topic that may have no benefit to others. In residency, an example was given of a student who wanted to do their dissertation on a particular component of the gun control debate. What was hindering the question from being clearly defined and thereby stalling his dissertation process was the student's biased, subjective, and passionate viewpoints. Passion is good, Glesne (2011) cautions, but if the passion crosses over to personal prejudice and conviction before due process, therein lays a problem.
