Before responding to this blog, shortly after class, I considered a project that reflects on the ideas of Shotter. For my project, I can see the usefulness of Shotters theories. As he stated, there are many unprocessed, subliminal ideas and expressions in our mind that may or may not play a huge role in my behaviors and attitudes toward writing. With that said, a project that looks at my unconscious, unprocessed thoughts may help explain some of what I have already processed with my reasoned self.
In my interview, I recall having to constantly think back to find connections to writing. With Shotters methods in mind, I would probably find myself writing more about the unprocessed. That in itself would allow me to expand, and reason more about that which I couldn't articulate in my interview.
Shotters theories give me a great starting point for my research. I now have a tool to use as I begin to look at my two selves differently. I recognize that my reasoning self and my unconscious self can both contribute to my research project. After reading and understanding Shotter, I am confident about generating ideas for my research project through the methods presented in Shotters theory.
