Just to make life interesting, I've just had yet another idea for a PhD I'd like to do, and it's in yet another discipline.
I have a slight problem in that I want to do a PhD, but I've got half a dozen different ideas of what I'd like to tackle at that level, and they all have slightly different disciplines. I've got an idea for something I'd like to do that looks at serious games and applied linguistics, something I'd like to do that looks at librarianship and applied linguistics, something that I'd like to do that's educational design and applied linguistics, something I'd like to do that's comparative religion (no linguistics in this one, just to shake things up)...
And now I've just noticed I could do a PhD in Creative Writing and use it as an excuse to deep-dive into two "young" genres of poetry that I've been enjoying playing with lately (Estonian Haiku and American Cinquain), which have both evolved from Japanese Haikai and write a book of poetry as part of the project.
The only flaw with that plan is I need to have "a substantial record of publication appropriate to the proposed project", and so far I don't have anything published at all.
Would it be too weird if I just said "stuff it, I'm going to see how many of these I can do?"
