So there are all sorts of things you do in a diss ("Look! I read X!") that can be dispensed with in the book. You can always refer people to the diss for a "fuller discussion" :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716705206734059708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-77903240136269093592009-10-29T07:59:23.541-07:002009-10-29T07:59:23.541-07:00Great post!

And I have to tell yo...Great post! You can do it!<br /><br />And I have to tell you that your post titles lately have pulled me over immediately. "Flailing around" is how I always describe myself. :) And have you seen that documentary about <i>A Chorus Line</i> called <i>Little Steps</i>? I just watched that yesterday...it's interesting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-32764980139201098382009-10-29T04:40:00.279-07:002009-10-29T04:40:00.279-07:00This is a wondrous ceramic illustration and I wish...This is a wondrous ceramic illustration and I wish I'd had it to tack up over my desk when I was writing the diss.<br /><br />Sign of hope: My lumpy first-try chapter, over which I slaved and dithered for approximately 80% of the total time it took me to write my diss, eventually grew up to be my most substantive and successful standalone article ever. The rest of the diss felt liberated and better about itself to be free of it, and it felt better when it realized it could stand on its own.Thoroughly Educatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606171535259466464noreply@blogger.com
