Thesis writer's block?

Hey All,

Do you find it hard to write? I have often struggled with this.

Don’t get me wrong. I write fantastic letters, love letters and have a good vocab to brag about. But when it comes to writing a technical paper, ouch! I try to ‘monkey’ the language from other tech papers..and I become overly judgmental.

Heres a convo between me and my colleague recently:

Me:‘Why is writing so hard, even when I get so happy after I put my thoughts on paper?’
Her: ‘Its like giving birth…Its hard, but when its done, it feels good’
Wanna go at it again?

Reply with any comments/tips/ experiences please!
