How do other scholars do research so that they can write? I have to read tons of books and articles before I can imagine writing. I keep physical notes in a journal and then I type them up into an annotated bibliography for ease referencing and quoting when writing. It takes a painfully long time to get there though.
The Drawing Lesson by François Haseleer (Belgian artist, lived 1804-1890). No date - 1830s/4os? 🤔
'Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.' ― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy.
