If you’re like me, you get lost in a myriad of research, non-fiction books about your topic, and a huge list of research questions. Or maybe I don’t just “get lost,” I choose to get lost because I enjoy it so much! Can anyone say, “Squirrel!“?

There will be times you’ll come up bone dry after hours and hours of digging and reading and combing articles, in both print or online. And even after you’ve honed your research questions, too!
