Expressive writing comes from our core. It is personal and emotional writing without regard to form or other writing conventions, like spelling, punctuation, and verb agreement. Expressive writing pays no attention to propriety; it expresses what is on your mind and heart.
Expressive writing pays more attention to feelings than the events, memories, objects, or people in a narrative. Like narrative writing, expressive writing may have the arc of a story: beginning, middle, and end. Sometimes, expressive writing behaves like a story that swells to a crest and resolves itself on firm ground. However, expressive writing is often turbulent and unpredictable, which is OK. Expressive writing is not so much about what happened as how you feel about what happened or is happening. (Evans, 2012)

I translated this description into Thai for my participants to explain what expressive writing is in this research.
I will begin my intervention this Thursday to Sunday with 7 participants.
After Dragons Den, one of the dragons spoke about her burnout to me, and she thought burnout and depression were the same. People don’t want to move or do anything. Because she has experience in that before, and she is also working in creative industries.
My project is about burnout and creative industries, but the context is in Thailand. Some of the people working in Thai creative industries I have already interviewed about feedback from my previous interventions, and they were helpful.
These create the ARGUMENT.
Culture in Thailand is not universal; It’s a subjective experience
I have evidence and the opportunity to refine the research question of whether it’s for everyone.
This is subjective, and it can be written in the introduction and conclusion of my report.
I have to clarify that it might work for Thai people more.
Burnout may be different in cultures and countries.
Suggestion…
Compare Thai and UK or US
Is it possible to find people who are not Thai but working in Thai creative industries?
RQ: How can self-awareness of ‘burnout’ be adopted among individuals in Thailand’s creative industries?
That means If individuals in Thailand’s creative industries have self-awareness of ‘burnout’ — so it answers the question.
To do.
- Show the context of danger to everyone and why it is different.
- How do you generate awareness?
- Awareness: more or less?
If the outsiders don’t understand what I am doing, that means I am communicating it wrong.
- Order of data
- Why did the data change?
- Form the argument
