Research Process
When researching my topic, I made sure of two things: I was comfy I knew what I was looking for It's critical to be comfy for me, otherwise I spend most of my time fidgeting or looking for a good spot. Much easier to do at the start of anything I do than throughout it. It was also important to know what I was looking for because material relating to serial killers is vast . I had to be sure to specify in my searches that I was looking for familial relations of a serial killer, as well as their interactions with friends or community. Anything else would lead me down a rabbit hole, and since I get invested and read through a majority of a source if it's less than 20 pages, I have to be sure to not be wasting my time. Overall, I ended up finding three new sources I decided would be interesting or helpful in my research essay.
