书籍介绍
这本书最戳中人心处,是它把写论文从一种'个人能力问题'重新定义为'普遍的人类困境'。作者不教你'如何写出好论文',而是陪你承认:初稿本该是一团糟。书中那句'先搞乱,再收拾'几乎是对完美主义者的赦免——它告诉你,那些条理清晰的书,往往诞生于最初的混乱。它适合谁?适合被'庞大目标'压得喘不过气、对'罗马数字式提纲'感到厌倦甚至崩溃的人。它提供的不是技巧清单,而是一种与自我重新相处的方式:把'写完'这件事,拆成每天十五分钟的、不必羞耻的坚持。它不保证你写出杰作,但也许能让你不再独自硬扛。

精彩摘录
  • "I don’t think this model worked. Much of the time it led to neat, clean, boring papers, often to empty ones with good form. It very rarely produced papers that were deeply thoughtful, that had strong and distinctive voices and styles, that raised as many questions as they answered, that made you rea"
  • "If you look at a piece of finished writing, all neat and orderly, and know nothing about how it actually came about, you might deduce that it was created using ‘the good old-fashioned boring model’."
  • "First you make a mess, then you clean it up."
  • "No more neat outlines with Roman numerals to follow, no elegant topic sentences for each paragraph, maybe not even any clear sense of where you’re going."
  • "your aim is making mud pies or sandcastles rather than stone buildings,"
  • "keep it going, keep the interesting and alive associations in your brain sparking."
  • "ignore your spelling, ignore sentence structure, don’t stop to hunt for words from the thesaurus, concentrate on what you’re trying to say, and see how many different ways you can say it."
  • "set up goals that are doable, never stop no matter what, and then reward yourself."
用户评论
写完论文的唯一方法,就是一个字一个字地把它写完。
Writing first. (focus Chapter 3)
哇,在这个时侯看到这本书真让人有一种得到拯救的幻觉。严肃说呢,书不错。但是发现自己符合很多条症状,而作者说,如果有这些症状呢,“你可能写出论文,但是非常困难。”
有一种不再孤单的感觉!
读到第五章左右,好像目前的我还没必要看revise及往后的内容,能把free writing践行一下就很好了。看的过程是种治愈(这类工具书对我来说都是缓解焦虑的书),作者的语气充满理解,对乱写一通的鼓励和Qu前两天告诉我的用白色字写/不看屏幕一口气写五分钟呼应起来了
作者主要从心理学角度让我们直面写作过程中可能面对的恐惧,并提出了很有用的一些tips,包括如何不加雕琢的写第一稿,如何在写dissertation期间比较外界干扰~我个人觉着她提出的那天写固定的时长(对我来说是页数),是一个非常行之有效的办法,只有工作起来才能克服未知的恐惧。
读到后面确认了作者是个絮絮叨叨的大妈
在飞机上翻完这本书。zero draft,aka,瞎几把乱写、先写起来,对我还挺有用的,似乎克服了一点整个夏天无法写作的心理障碍。这周每天早上坐俩小时,从心情笔记开始写起,摇头晃脑敲键盘,偶尔有一两句灵感一现,还要在括号里夸奖自己(很棒、就这么写下去!)
