This week I want to square up with my lit review. I feel like I am constantly finding new things to be added to it, and I have to keep going back and playing the game of “what needs to go”. Then I of course feel like everything HAS to stay. This gripe I have with the lit review is so real I had a dream about me teaching my middle schoolers what a lit review was. We have deep rooted beef. At this point I would love to say it was set in stone, but unfortunately, it is not. I found a really great source that analyzes “tokenism” which is significant to my work . Which is of course delaying my process in writing my academic paper.  

This weekend I hope to be able to just write my academic paper. I’d rather get something down and maybe have to add to it than to not have anything at all. Just to keep you guys up to speed, my creative section is mostly finished. I already have two short stories. I just need to add my advice section at the very end of that. However, I want that to be the absolute last thing because I keep altering or adding ideas based on the research I am discovering.  

As usual I hope to keep moving forward and use the weekend as some time to really play catch up, nail down the lit review and get going on my academic paper.
