For a project in another writing class I'm working on interspersing technical language and descriptions into the narrative of the piece, finding metaphors to relate the clinical definitions (in this case the science of audio engineering) to the topic (an individual audio engineer). To get a better feel for how to make this work I'm teaching myself the basics of ear training and pitch identification.
The tricky is not to take research to the point of procrastination but to get just into it enough to have a solid grasp on the material.
I'm not sure this is a technique that lends itself to our current nonfiction project, but is worth considering for future pieces that are difficult to structure.
