YAY! So I officially have approval for my project. And I also think I have found my case study family. Now I am trying to make organised and categorised lists to aid in my brain organisation.
On another note.....I attended my first conference last week! I think I may be slightly addicted, after hearing so many wonderful and enlightening papers and meeting so many wonderful people with similar interests to me. It was at one point, quite surreal, as I found myself supping a lovely glass of wine in the company of Rosy Martin, Angela Kelly and the legendary Patricia Holland. The situation did not compute with my brain, and has taken a week to actually sink in. But I'm very pleased that I did not consume so much wine as to make a complete arse of myself in such highly regarded company. In fact, I think I even held my own in conversation about my work!
One of the conversations about my work was followed by Patricia Holland exclaiming that I was taking the baton from her, as her work is all based in the present and past, and mine is all about the future *smugness ensues*.
I have come away from the conference weekend with the overwhelming urge to get writing.
And I think one of the key questions of my research has further clues to investigate. Remember 'the missing magic'? It may well be anticipation.
