I can definitely relate! Although I'm only 4 months into my PhD, I know all too well that I am an expert at getting stuck in the 'perfect sentence vortex'. I have been like this for years. A few weeks ago, I had to write my draft detailed research proposal. I began in my usual way – agonising over every word and sentence, and making sure I was meticulously referencing every sentence – and found I was getting nowhere fast. I needed to get this draft written to send to my supervisors before our next meeting, and I was running out of time. I had often heard about the idea of writing a first draft, but have never been able to do it. I figured that I had to give it a try because my usual approach was clearly not working and I have years of writing ahead of me. So, I forced myself to just write off the top of my head, forgetting about referencing, expression, etc – and to my amazement found that in less than an hour I'd written over 500 words explaining the background to my research project. I expected it to be utter rubbish, but when I read over it I found, to my compete surprise, that it wasn't even that bad! It needed some editing and insertion of citations, but otherwise basically made some sense. I think developing confidence in this approach to writing 'true' first drafts is something that will take some time, but even with my first attempt, I already feel a bit more confident. My next writing task is to draft a thematic analysis of interview data collected for a separate project that I'm working on – I have been procrastinating and thinking about how hard this task would be, bacause I was thinking about writing in the old way (i.e., 'perfect sentence vortex'). But after reading your post, it reminded me about my new way of writing 'true' drafts … so, today, that is what I'm going to do! For me, it is about learning to write in a new way. Rather than wait until I'm trying to write up my whole thesis, I thought I'd start this new approach with small writing tasks, to build the habit so I can more confidently and effectively take on the big tasks (i.e., thesis). Happy drafting everyone!/p

I've been following this blog faithfully since I started my PhD three years ago, but this is my first comment. I just wanted to take the opportunity to say how much help and encouragement I've had from reading the blog over all that time, and how much fun /This particular post is most timely. It has inspired me to face the fear and do it anyway. Or at any rate to try! I'm due to submit a full first draft in two months time, and I am so locked into the perfect sentence vortex that my productivity is practically zero. I tell myself just to get on with it and write something… and then I end up reading blogs instead because I can't bring myself to write "just a draft" ,but I'm unable to get my ideas from brain to computer screen in a pure and readable state. For the first time in the whole PhD process I'm beginning to understand why some people pull /Anyway, thanks for the good ideas, and the pep talk. Time to try again. Maybe THIS time it will all come together. In the meantime, some information about the Lego blocks certainly seems called for!/p

I use different font colours to get over this – red is first rough draft, green second, blue third and black my polished version.

I wonder if it could be demoralising to come close to the target but not quite get there?)/p
