Expert writing advice from the editor of the Boston Globe best-seller, The Writer's Home Companion
Dissertation writers need strong, practical advice, as well as someone to assure them that their struggles aren't unique. Joan Bolker, midwife to more than one hundred dissertations and co-founder of the Harvard Writing Center, offers invaluable suggestions for the graduate-student writer. Using positive reinforcement, she begins by reminding thesis writers that being able to devote themselves to a project that truly interests them can be a pleasurable adventure. She encourages them to pay close attention to their writing method in order to discover their individual work strategies that promote productivity; to stop feeling fearful that they may disappoint their advisors or family members; and to tailor their theses to their own writing style and personality needs. Using field-tested strategies she assists the student through the entire thesis-writing process, offering advice on choosing a topic and an advisor, on disciplining one's self to work at least fifteen minutes each day; setting short-term deadlines, on revising and defing the thesis, and on life and publication after the dissertation. Bolker makes writing the dissertation an enjoyable challenge.

有帮助的几点: 从motivation的层面讲如何克服拖延症动起来,如何持续推进。 跟How to write a lot建议的一样,writting first,每天都要写,写几个小时或者写几页,自己定目标。 正面地反馈和激励。 park on the downhill。让下一次启动非常容易。 you own your work。作品属于你而非任何别人。 advisor和committee都希望你尽快愉快地完成论文,但既不能代替你的工作,甚至不能比你更理解你的工作,所以很多时候与其期待指导,不如说期待平等的讨论,有益的建议。
评分虎头蛇尾的, 前面0-th和1st draft的各种办法写的还不错, 后面的就觉得没啥意思了, 重复一些常识而已--当然也有可能是我现在还没法引起共鸣, 等到那个阶段再尝试读读看吧
