>> Exactly what I needed and expected
I admit that I was drawn to the somewhat irreverent title I read part of the introduction before I bought it to make sure that the 15 minutes a day was not real the author states that the title was intended to grab attention and that she was referring to the practice of ensuring that a person writing a dissertation spend at least 15 minutes every day writing what she calls developing the writing habit
This was precisely what I needed I am up against a major financial deadline to complete my thesis and have been frustrated at my slow progress This book helped me to understand that pretty much anyone can develop a writing habit i e learn to enjoy writing and that such a joy of writing would be immensely helpful to me professionally Slow progress is still progress as long as the progress is real
As the author states in her introduction this is not a textbook on thesis structure It is instead a guide to surviving the emotional landscape of writing a thesis As far as I know that makes it unique among books about writing
I can t imagine reading this book when it would have been most useful at the beginning of my graduate career It s a bit like parenting a child only recognizes the value of a parent s advice after they have made the mistakes that make the advice obviously useful Nonetheless I recommend this book wholeheartedly to PhD candidates at all levels
