• Pre-Search • Me-Search • Re-Search • We-Search

Pre-Search: How do I get started? • How do I develop and cultivate the courage to write so that I can start, sustain, and finish this piece? • Is there a deep belief, ideal, or conviction that I hold with such energy and passion that will carry me through this project. • Who is my audience, what do I hope to contribute? Nash, R. & Bradley, D. (2011). Me-search and re-search: A guide for writing scholarly personal narrative manuscripts. Information Age Publishing Inc.

Me-Search: What is my personal narrative regarding the ideas emphasized in my writing? • Where exactly is the “me” in my writing, and why is the “me” important in advancing my ideas to others? • How do I write from the core of my life experience in order to inform my trained writer’s intellect? • Does the larger story I am telling about myself have a narrative arc? Nash, R. & Bradley, D. (2011). Me-search and re-search: A guide for writing scholarly personal narrative manuscripts. Information Age Publishing Inc.

Re-Search: What scholars and researchers have informed my writing? • What are the primary and secondary scholarly sources that ground my research? • What are the central themes that form the core of my writing? Nash, R. & Bradley, D. (2011). Me-search and re-search: A guide for writing scholarly personal narrative manuscripts. Information Age Publishing Inc.

We-Search: What are the implications for my profession, or field of study, that can be generalized from my scholarly personal narrative? • How can I create a narrative overlap between my life and my profession in such a way that the overlap informs other professions? • How do I identify and convey to my readers the implications for their own fields of study?
