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?

Hi Avi, you should post this to the PhD Students forum. There’s been some discussion there on PhD thesis writing.
