Brandon Sanderson's The Emperor's Soul offers one of the best metaphors for the writing process that I've seen. For today's discussion, we're going to consider how this metaphor works within our differing fields of interest, and then we'll follow-up with research approaches for Project 1. By the end of this discussion, you should have four posts that provide potential research sources for your Project 1:
- A Main Post, where you describe your field of interest, and then relate writing in this field to a quote from The Emperor's Soul. This main post should also include an attached PDF of a scholarly article you found via Milner Library. (see the next blog post for Videos on Finding Scholarly Sources via Milner.)
- Three Response Posts. As in past discussions, each response should refer to a specific point made by one of your classmates (or to my initial post), provide your own thoughts, and then an outside quote or example to support your point (see #3 below).
- Three quotes for Outside Support. For each response post, your outside support can be any one of the following: a new quote from Emperor's Soul, a link to a website that you find interesting, or a quote from your Milner article (see #1 above).
