On the Surface

A lot of times upon reading journal article on Qualitative study, I find myself visualising how I want to write my own study when the time comes. It looks linear in my head. I have the idea, I draft it, and the I write the final report. But, when I read more, I find the authors highlighting the challenges in writing up a qualitative study. I would say (in my head) 'emm..is it really THAT difficult?' I know later I'm gonna eat up my own words.

But for now, I have this feeling that I only understand this stuff (qualitative study, writing, design) on a superficial level. It's like now I only am peeking on the surface and there is a lot inside that I have not yet see or understand yet. I am 'viewing' all these qualitative researchers' experience from the outside. I feel I am not yet part of this community of active qualitative researcher. Well, of course I am not, I am only just starting my journey..😆😆 But, I am excited to be part of this. 

Just putting into words what I think after reading the journal for week 10 of class. It talks about writing up a qualitative study report. Hence, my reflection on this.
