Research

Well, my personal safari through the jungles of information on cults and abusive situations continues, and I'm finding it rather interesting. I'm also learning more about the way I work best... I've been taking notes for this project onto notecards, and just recording on each card which book it's from and which page it's from, along with the information or quote. The bibliographic information is on a seperate card. And, since I am not trying to catagorize everything just jot it down, I think it's going much easier. When I'm all done I can sort through it all and put it into related categories. That will be much easier than trying to do it in advance and put my notes into outline format.

This is fun. :) I wish I knew this much about my notetaking and research skills back when I was in Highschool. :)
