The last time I did anything research related was back in college. This was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the word research recently.
Afterall, research to me was this scary thing that involved hours of time, data analysis, numbers, and worst of all—math. (I know math is important, but the last math class I took was in 2013.)
You could say I was happy using and expanding the right side of my brain with creative writing.
But then I heard something that shifted my entire perspective on what research really is.
