Do you delay completing your writing because you seek perfection? Do you postpone starting to write because you know what you write won't be perfect? Do you wait for just the right time, right environment, and right mood to write? Do you have to be inspired before you start writing? Just write because perfection is not possible.

Maintaining your focus is the key to completing your dissertation or thesis.

Try the following thesis or dissertation writing help strategies:

* Tape a copy of the proposal to your computer, asking yourself if you have expanded on all of the ideas advanced in the proposal

* Work "within" your proposal, adding key words and concepts and then expanding upon them

* Write your first chapter early in order to make sure that subsequent chapters fulfill promises made in the introduction. This strategy helps some writers to focus their writing; for others, however, writing the first chapter proves difficult. See what works for you.

* Know your thesis and let it dictate what you include; refrain from writing everything you know

Obtaining feedback from advisors and colleagues will help you to refine your ideas as you write.

Try the following dissertation or thesis writing help strategies:

* Present sections of your thesis or dissertation as conference papers or submit them for publication. Audience members and editorial boards frequently provide valuable comments.

* Meet regularly with committee members to get feedback on your work-in-progress.
