Abstract
The process of writing memos is foundational to Glaserian classic grounded theory because it enables the researcher to engage in important preconscious and conscious processing as a theory is being developed. If a person waits to write down a given memo or thought, then the likelihood is great that the idea will be permanently missed. And a lost idea is a lost opportunity in Glaserian classic grounded theory that should not be experienced.
