Write to answer a question.
Most ABD’s find it difficult to "get into" their writing. They know they want to write, and may even know what they want to express- but they have trouble getting started. One good technique is to make a list of 12-15 questions that your chapter will address or answer. It’s important to make these questions because it’s always easier to write the answer to a question than it is to write the answer to a statement. As an example- Rather than: discuss impact of global weather patterns on Indonesia. Try: What is the impact of global weather patterns on Indonesia? It’s always easier to answer a question. If you can’t get started wih your writing, start by asking some questions!
