Katy reflects on attaining Keyboard

Katy Meeks and Baby Luke. Katy with hair pulled back and glasses, smiles next to her baby Luke snuggled in a blue fuzzy blanket in a car seat. To the side of the image is a picture of baby Luke in a cream colored onesie with blue and yellow and green transportation vehicles dotting it.

A picture of Luke and I on a "thinking" walk for writing inspiration and also a portrait of my office mate.

Right now, I’m researching, outlining, and writing a chapter of my dissertation. I am working hard to get my dissertation written since I’ve been away from it for the past year––it was impossible to work on while I was pregnant and very ill with complications, and then recovering from a challenging delivery. The chapter I’m working on right now is requiring me to research the history of paleontology and Dinomania. Who would have thought! I’ve been writing a lot in my research journal, never underestimate the power of good pens or a brisk walk to give you inspiration or motivation to write! On the side I’m also writing in my reading journal, just for myself. I love to note passages and thoughts I have while I’m reading, whether for my dissertation work, teaching and professional development, or pleasure.
