I am a bit late with this update, but am happy to report that after some struggle did make some concrete movement on the book. I took the comments some of my advisers had given me on my survey and began to create a draft of it on Survey Monkey for later distribution. This actually took place 4 days ago on 4.15.09. (Oh yeah, the survey is the tool I am using for the initial stage of data collection for the book on women and their Visions that this blog is chronicling.) There had been a big lag in time from my first draft of the survey, to soliciting feedback, to now. I think I dragged my feet because of some fear of really moving ahead. I knew I would feel good if I just worked on it. I did. The survey is looking good. I made several changes to it based on the feedback I had gotten to simplify it. I had been perhaps trying to capture too much data with this one survey. Before I start sounding like a mad scientist\u2026just let me say again..it felt good just to work on it! I did hit a tiny wall however. My basic account on Survey Monkey limited the number of questions, so the next logical step is to upgrade the account to accommodate the entire survey. Additionally the upgrade will allow me to collect a lot more responses that I would have been able to previously. Yeah! Hope I don\u2019t drag my feet too long before moving on the next steps in the data collection process; finalizing the survey and deciding the exact method of data collection. Don\u2019t worry when the survey is up you will know because I am going to need people to respond. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
