Post #2 response to The Craft of Research prologue &chapter1

After reading the prologue and chapter one of The Craft of Research, I found a
lot of statements and tips that can help when researching. I was even able to relate to one of the statements made by the authors. I can now see why "thinking in print" is beneficial to not only the outcome of a research paper but it helps the writer outline their thoughts. Many times I think my ideas are more compelling inside my mind, but after reading chapter one I realize writing everything out for you and an potential reader to study is a good thing. It can arise more questions for yourself that can be answered through research. Writing out thoughts places all the plans for research in one place on paper, rather then mixed up and possibly forgotten in our minds.
