I failed my senior historiography class because i got too caught up in reading on my topic. I was supposed to have read 5 monographs and I ended up reading 15. I needed to write 20 pages and I wrote 35, but without actually completing my argument. I really thought at the time the subject I chose was incredibly small and specific. I still think it is but, I guess a semester was not long enough to have written what I needed. I even got an 8 month long extension and still didn't finish.
This is a helpful way to think about research and writing, thanks!
Thanks for watching!

Yes, sometimes we cannot get away from doing research. But there comes a moment when we need to write and finish.
