serious researching

today i did some serious researching.  Instead of trying to find a focus, i decided to just look up information regarding my overall topic of the salem witch trials.  While it took a long time, I actually got some work done.  Something that hasn’t been happening for the past couple of weeks.  I decided to change my focus from working just on the punishments regarding the verdict behind being labeled a witch, to including the rationale the court used in concluding their decision.  It isn’t going to be an easy job, but hopefully I’ll continue to find more and more information regarding this particular subject.  Luckily, this topic is easy to find resources, because a lot of people prior to me have found it just as interesting.  However much I want to differ my own ideas from theirs, it’s going to be difficult to create that separation.  Also, making sure the sources are credible has also proved to be a problem, as well as, finding articles that aren’t editorials or responses to past articles.  Hopefully my skills will sharpen throughout time, if only.
