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.

有一種不再孤單的感覺!
评分特彆有用!已經開始照做瞭!祝我兩年畢業!分享給正在寫論文或者準備寫博士論文的小夥伴,早看早好!
评分一天十五分鍾、一年七十四小時、三年……四年……
评分“If you’re planning on finishing your degree, you have to focus on your own work, at times to the exclusion of the rest of the world.” sigh
评分有幫助的幾點: 從motivation的層麵講如何剋服拖延癥動起來,如何持續推進。 跟How to write a lot建議的一樣,writting first,每天都要寫,寫幾個小時或者寫幾頁,自己定目標。 正麵地反饋和激勵。 park on the downhill。讓下一次啓動非常容易。 you own your work。作品屬於你而非任何彆人。 advisor和committee都希望你盡快愉快地完成論文,但既不能代替你的工作,甚至不能比你更理解你的工作,所以很多時候與其期待指導,不如說期待平等的討論,有益的建議。
