Too much research?

It's a question that I see on copywriting forums fairly
frequently - "Is there such a thing as too much research?"

Yes! Absolutely.

Know how I know? Been there, done that, over and over
again.

From college through grad school, on archaeological projects
(after fieldwork, before the report), and most recently as
a copywriter.

It's my favorite way of being productive (ahem!) without having
to attack th blank screen.

The best way to get past this is to write. Once you have a good
foundation of whatever your project is - write. If you can (I'm
still working on this) don't self edit, just write. Then polish
it up a bit and get some real feedback.

Until I started following that process, I was just spinning
my wheels.

By the way - if you're a woman who's thinking about going
