    Step Six: Hitting a wall and having no ideas...
    As someone who just turned in my dissertation prospectus (Africana Studies), I can say I felt that wall several times but I kept pushing. Right now I'm working on editorial feedback for a paper I'm publishing next year and just knowing that it's OK not to have it right at the first time is helping me push gradually to the deadline for submission.
    Thank you K! 😊

Do you mind making a video on how to successfully run a RUclips/business, while being a full-time PhD student? If you have already, do you mind telling me the title? I’m trying to decide on which path to take. I really want to do both. Seeing you is inspiring. Thanks in advance!! 💕

    Additional advice for writer's block: after having gone through the literature for a bit/the stuff you have written so far, take a shower. For some reason, the best ideas always are born there:p then run to your computer and write down what popped up in your head, then go from there.

    - History is simply a Collective Data of Official and Actual Events with Authored Grandiose Imagination.
    - The Solution starts with "Be Yourself".

      @@KaelynGraceApple You are funny. To be honest, Idk if you are qual or quant, but I take it you are qual. I just hope your committee doesn't give you a hard time if you use "too many" books for your literature review. To be an expert on your topic, it is best to find gaps in the literature of peer-reviewed articles. There, you will also be able to provide a more acquainted understanding of the literature. Books do not necessarily have a good grasp of that. So, if there are any PhD students out there, don't spend too much time on books, but rather spend more time on databases. 😉
