so here i spent all this time trying to figure out how to do index cards online. looking for special software, avery labels, something. anything.<\/p>\n
in desperation last week, as i was packing for my yearly trip to houghton, i needed to decide whether or not to pack the index cards. had to give it one more try, and as my last try i thought i’d see if i could configure something in Word that would work. go to Word, and find that there’s a 8×5 card layout already there, built in. even on my old copy of word on my poor old ibook.<\/p>\n
silly me. i think i got derailed by the idea of trying to find a technology solution, some new way to do what i used to do. really, what i should have been doing was spending my time doing what i knew worked. i would have gotten to the same place much more quickly. <\/p>\n
i think that i’ll still use endnote for the bib citations, because i have to do something. they need to be written, and why not let software do it for me since i know how to use it and don’t need anything too complex. and after all, mla has changed, so i’d have to look up the rules if i wrote it all out by hand.<\/p>\n
so now i’m sitting here in houghton, needing to get started on my writing. much reading and notetaking and writing and rewriting to do. unfortunately, i don’t think i have anything that i need with me right now. on the other hand, i don’t really feel like wandering off to find something. by the time i chose something and came back, it would be time to leave again. <\/p>\n
i guess that it’s that point in the writing process when i have to look at my collected notes that are online and figure out what i have that i can keep. maybe it’s time for some freewriting. or something of that sort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
