“But from adventure to adventure, from page to page, from drafts to drafts, I swear I’ve never done it before… “<\/em> How are you Serge Lama Benzi? Just fine! Your title has inspired me to sing a song… But enough joking around, let’s get on with you and Carmen!<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last episode<\/a>, V\u00e9ronique shared her enthusiasm for the creative process of writing. Today, with Carmen, we’re exploring this aspect of doctoral research in a little more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let’s summarise: (1) defining the subject – (2) identifying sources and gathering information – (3) reading books and articles; steps (2) and (3) are done in parallel – and for step (4)? writing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When do you decide to start writing? That’s a very individual question. For my part, I put off this stage until I felt ready. Everything I’ve accumulated over the last few years has circulated freely in my mind. I need an idea, an observation, a crucial element to start writing: “writing to think”, as our guest of the day so aptly put it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Carmen and I bumped into each other at the printer at the start of the new school year, we updated each other on our goals for the year. Just a few months apart, we’re both in the long, exciting, exhilarating process of writing! Come on, admit it, Gazengel, this is your favourite part!<\/em> Yes, I freely admit that it’s an exciting part… but it takes so much effort! There are days when it flows by itself and others when obtaining five sentences seems like such a challenge! As my friend Charlotte, also a PhD student, once said to me when I was struggling to write, there’s no point in forcing yourself. But that’s another subject… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this third episode explores the thoughts of two PhD students who are wondering how they can approach writing without losing their minds!<\/p>\n\n\n
