I have always been a journal writer although I usually use a blog/social media posts rather than a “standard” journal approach. Combined with this, my mentoring role at CQU has made me realise I’ve hit some HUGE speed bumps (or walls…walls with sharks in them trying to eat me might be more accurate) on my doctorate journey so far. Not everyone hits these but some people do and just sharing my story has helped reassure others there is a way through it.
I’ve decided to collect all my blog posts. LinkedIn, Facebook, X etc posts over the last 2.5 years (and the coming year of thesis writing hell haha) and edit them into my own little book “Letters to my PhD”.
…because I don’t already have enough things to do 😂
