Another academic year is underway, and to kick us into work mode, ThesisLink is all about writing this month. That’s right, it’s Manuscript March! Because everything is better with alliteration.*<\/p>\n
All month long, we at ThesisLink will post about the process of writing a full-length thesis. We’ll consider how a thesis is formed, what kinds of challenges face us along the way, and how to overcome them. We’ll find new ways to conceptualise our writing, and we’ll get a bit silly at times too.<\/p>\n
Your Manuscript March Mascot (too much?) is me, Anaise. I work at the University Postgraduate Centre, and I’m writing a PhD thesis on bioengineering in contemporary fiction. I’m trying to turn my first draft into a second, so I know all about the highlights and headaches of creating a workable document.<\/p>\n
Keep your eyes peeled here for lots of tips, celebrations, debates, commiserations, and tangential vociferations on the worthy subject of thesis-writing. But don’t just read – join us in our manuscript madness! If you have any thoughts on writing your thesis, or you’d like to contribute a blog post on the subject, please get in touch with us at thesislink@gmail.com, or leave a comment below.<\/p>\n
Happy writing,<\/p>\n
Anaise.<\/p>\n

*Except, perhaps, academic writing. Although I think we researchers could come up with some amazing tongue-twisters if we put our heads together. No woodchucking woodchucks can compete with “Derridean debates describing diff\u00e9rance, destabilising dichotomies, deliberately deconstructing diagrammatic dimensions of discourse.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
