What is Faffing?

Faffing - a great word to describe my writing process. This blog is my place for productive faffing. I will use it to post questions, ideas, resources as I wend my way through my proposal, data gathering and dissertation.

My goal: to finish these final steps toward Ph.D before I am 55. That gives me a little over 2 years!

From the PhinisheD website comes this discussion of faffing:

Often mistaken for goofing off, the true conniosseur can appreciate the difference. From the master faffer himself, dr 3/e1:"Oh, I think my messages serve better at exemplifying faffing... ...having now posted about five or six different definitions of faffing, each of which was much longer than strictly necessary, none of which were on archived boards, and all of which are now lost to history.... It might of course be appropriate to put un unfinished definition in the FAQs. We'll get around to finishing it someday..."
