CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS April 19, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
When iread this book,i really enjoyed it especially if you are planning to start your thesis and the instructions r very clear and short.
 worth more than gold September 8, 2008
THis book is worth more than twice its weight in gold. I only bought it on the off-chance because it was listed as a book often bought along with another book I was buying, and in any case the price was so affordable. I am so glad I did. I was suffering from intellectual inertia - didn't know where or how to start my writing. This book helped me to see how to take small steps and just begin. I have only had it a few weeks, but already there is a marked difference in my approach to my thesis. I am actually getting something done. It will definitely be my Bible for the year to come.
Jump start a chapter with a shot of courage November 13, 2008
The author packs discipline and confidence into a quick read that motivated me on more than one occasion as I wrote a dissertation about 13th century poetry written in a language I'd never studied formally.
It took re-reading a chapter here and there to coax me through writing my 300 page thesis, and since I had three children all born during the season of writing my dissertation, there were some days when 15 minutes came one minute at a time and left me with fragements that were undecipherable... still, I have to say that this book, an encouraging spouse, and a patient advisor helped me to get through the process.
If you're stuck and need to feel less guilt and more courage as you face the blank page, this book is for you. If you need a kick of energy and a method for moving forward, read a few pages and then get to work. You can do it!
