WCP29 The research rabbit hole

The research and reporting rabbit holes have to be the some of the most seductive and appealing parts of the freelance writing comfort zone. You start off doing good work: nailing down facts, seeking rich data, locating interesting sources. But there’s always another twist and turn, and you can easily lose your orientation and not know if you’re getting closer or further away from what your story needs. If you’ve ever said that research takes as long as it takes, or noticed that it’s taking so long that it interferes with (rather than supports) your writing goals, you’ve got to listen to today’s episode.
