Writing My Dissertation



My Livescribe Smartpen

 

 

I reviewed quotations on writing for a suitable quote to begin this blog.  The selection was inspiring.  I chose one from Stephen King because it aligns closely with my feelings:

“The scariest moment is always just before you start.”
― Stephen King, On Writing

 

 

The dissertation interview:  I previously blogged about my dissertation interviews.   In the spirit of what I know about how to write a dissertation,  I thought it might be helpful to share one of my tools.  I am using a Livescribe Smartpen to record my interviews.  The pen digitizes the recordings and the written notes (which are written on special paper with exceedingly small dots).  I was pleased to learn that I am able to not only save the audio on my computer, but also copies of the hand-written notes.  Also, when I click on a written note, I hear the audio.  I found a YouTube video demonstrating the pen.
