Reflection on Topic

From the research I have gathered regarding Post Secret and anonymous authorship, I feel somewhat confident. I feel confident that this a relevant topic to our class research. I also feel confident in what I have found thus far: how readers feel about secrets being anonymous, the different mediums used in producing Post Secret to the public, etc. What I worry, is that I am not finding enough different information to create into a lengthy research paper.

I am still very interested in the topic I have chosen. Actually, I must admit I am becoming even more excited as the latest book is releasing today! (10/6/09!!!) I will use this release as a part of my research, looking deeply into the reviews the new book will receive, how many copies will have been sold, the overall response of the newest edition to the Post Secret Community.

I am interested in looking more deep into the topic of art therapy + anonymous therapy that Post Secret provides many viewers. I would like to use that opportunity to possibly compare Post Secret anonymous art therapy to the infamous therapy of AA (Alchoholics Anonymous). But I am not sure how this would work with the topic of this project, if that would be on the right track.
