Well, after the "aha" moment it's back to the slog of carrying on with my online degree. I'm starting to do some of the new line of research that is suggested by this new line of thinking. It means that although I'm deviating from the path that I thought I would be researching, I can see in the long run that it's likely to cut down the amount of research overall that I need to do for my online PhD.
However at the moment it's just shear hard work, plus the necessity of tracing out a new research plan. I'm trying to retain that feeling of excitement that I had during this new development, but at the moment it's hard. When I get into the new line of research, I'm sure I'll recapture that feeling.
