### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    It's been 2 months since purchase and my partner defended her PhD thesis since
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020*

This book is just wonderfully empathic. A lot of reading materials for PhD students are full of tough love, but this particular author talks about difficult steps with a lot of grace, positive thinking, and a productive take on finishing things for the sake of regaining independence and charting your own path forward as an almost-doctor. Lots of thoughts on how different people write and what works for them. There's a section on struggles with one's advisor. There's a section on hitting a wall while writing. Lots of ideas on starting and getting into the flow of writing. This book really acknowledges that in order to become a PhD, one must first become a writer, and a writer very much alike to those who write actual books of non-fiction. Once a PhD student accepts this and thinks of their thesis as a piece of creative writing with a heavy dose of supporting citations and existing science, things begin to look clearer and more manageable. Also, this review was written by my partner, whose PhD dissertation I survived, and who turned her dissertation proposal into a finished dissertation in exactly 5 weeks, falling onto this book whenever things got tough. She wishes she had gotten a copy 5 years sooner.

    A Great Resource
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2004*

Joan Bolker is a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping writers get over their problems.  Also she has worked in the Harvard Writing Lab, so she has a great deal of experience with writers of dissertations.  This experience really shines in this book.  She approached the problem of writing from a psychological angle.  She covers some common problems faced by graduate students and gives practical advice for overcoming these obstacles.  The key to writing is to write while you are thinking, or even before.  If you attempt to write after thinking, you will block out a lot of ideas before they have a chance to mature.  The important thing is to get your thoughts out onto paper, then after you collect lots of ideas, go back over what you wrote and pick out the pearls.  If you edit yourself while you're writing, you tend to be overly critical and the negativity blocks the flow of the writing process.  Actually, I think this book would be great not only for dissertation writers, but for writers of any kind.  If you're facing a wall in your writing, this book could help you out a lot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Easy read, fairly repetitive though…
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2021*

While I enjoyed this book, it was very repetitive. There are some very good points made and the added checklists make for good reference material.  Overall I recommend it, but don’t expect it to be earth shattering.
