Anyone still around from two years ago when I occasionally posted about the start of my #PhDjourney and its progress?

Update: I now have a (real) outline for my dissertation! I used the #Canvas in #Obsidian to visualize it. Very useful (and a free alternative to #Scrintal!)

It feels a little unreal, but it seems like there's actually a book coming out of this. 🤯

Took some valuable advice on organizing the whole thing from these two books:

1. The PhD Writing Handbook (very concise and straight to the point, great checklists) https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/phd-writing-handbook-9781137497703/
2. Authoring a PhD (sometimes a bit paternalistic to me, but still very useful)
   https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-0-230-80208-7

Now I have to start structuring the chapters. I hope to have three chapters drafted by the end of the summer. And one chapter ready for publication in an edited volume by September ... wooo, this is exciting (and, of course, intimidating)!
