Terrific writing tips
I just did a quick search for "writer's block" and "Ph.D." and found a couple of great links.
This one is brilliant! I think it's the music theorist in me that likes to see processes broken down into individual pieces, labeled, and analyzed. The advice here seems especially helpful, not just for the "stuck" stage, but also for the "I have a bunch of stuff written out, it looks like gobbletygook, and what do I do now?" stage. The way the post discusses "transition signals" (similarly, as a result, in conclusion, etc.) as ways of pacing your writing reminds me of tempo markings in a composition.
An old post from New Kid on the Hallway on writer's block has some great tips as well.
