Correct. I’ll write this from the perspective of another Ti/Ne user.
For me, the key to successful completion of any complex project is to start with something. You think in ideas and images; I do much the same (unsurprising since we have similar functions). Start with that. Get ideas for what you want to convey and - this is very important - write them down. No matter how scattered or random they seem, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to fit them into the narrative of your thesis somehow. In this stage, more is better. Even if you don’t end up using all your ideas this process will free up your creativity which is your strength.
From there, take each idea you’ve come up with and try to derive a single truth (or a small set) that speaks to the big picture you’re attempting to convey. Here your aim will be to refine your ideas. This will likely be the stage where you start using established research to help shape the narrative. There’s a good chance a few of your ideas won’t be that useful, which is fine. Try to find kernels of truth in them anyway.
Next, I would try to rough out an outline, using the high level points you’ve derived above. Do your best to make this logically procedural. One idea leads to the next which leads to the next and so on. ENTPs aren’t natural procedural thinkers, this may be the toughest stage for you, and the part you really have to plow through to get it right. As with all stages of this process, verbal engagement with peers will likely be a big help for you in getting it right.
In my view, once the outline is done the hard part is over - time to fill in the details, which will consist of utilizing all that research to drive your conclusions home (and throwing in some humor here and there). As stated above be judicious with the jokes but give your work your own voice. Nothing at all wrong with that.
Finally, as with all stages of this process, get help when you need it. The analysis and critique of peers is always a good thing.
Good luck!
