@gkountourides What I did at the time of my PhD to "initiate" the writing process was to group and organize all of the scientific articles I had read during my PhD into a coherent plan with sections and subsections. I then used this as the plan for my literature review chapter. I find it easier to start writing when you know where you're going and you just have to fill in predefined paragraphs (and it's also practical in therms of scheduling because you can divide the writing into small tasks like "today I write the paragraph on X, tomorrow the paragraph on Y, ...") #academicchatter #phd #writing #phdchat
