I am in the revision stages of my dissertation writing. It occurs to me that writing is a lot like cooking. Take biscuits, for example. You need to work the dough just enough to make sure that all of the ingredients are integrated. If you do it just right, your biscuits will be flaky and tender. Overwork the dough and you get biscuits that are more like hockey pucks.
No wonder so many dissertations turn out flat, hard and lifeless...You can learn a lot about life by baking biscuits...I'll try to remember that as I rework my dissertation.
