To begin to organize my dissertation (USA)/exegesis (AUS)/thesis (ENG) outline, bibliography, etc., on June 8th, 9th & 10th, along with about 15 other Lehman College faculty members, I attended an online writing retreat, "Every Summer Needs a Plan".
During the first two days I felt overwhelmed by the scope of the writing project. By day 3, when I scheduled myself for as many summer Tuesday and Thursday 10 AM-noon writing group sessions, I began to feel like the project might be manageable. And by the end, I started the outline, updated and added the bibliography and a few notes...formatting all in Harvard style. Ultimately it was a productive retreat.
