\\n
\\nThen join me in this interview a specialist, a "thesis whisperer" of sorts - Martha Boeglin of Scriptoria.
\\n
\\nDuring my conversation with Martha, we discuss this inevitable, yet often gruesome task that is thesis writing, and Martha shares her know-how and a number of techniques and strategies to make the exercise a pleasant and successful one.

\\n
\\nWhen she wanted to write her thesis in Philosophy, Martha Boeglin was paralyzed for many months by the fear of the blank page.
\\n
\\nWhen she eventually understood that the fear of the blank page is normal, that almost every researcher is concerned by writer\\u2019s block\\u2026 ant that writing problems are tabou at university, she started to investigate the phenomenon of writing.
\\n
\\nOne discovery changed her life: writer\\u2019s block belongs to the writing process \\u2013 and there are lots of creative writing techniques to overcome them.
\\n
\\nMore: some writing techniques hold an almost magical power.
\\n
\\nWhy are they not taught at university\\xa0?
\\n
\\nHer passion for writing techniques was born. With a double consequence: first, once she overcame that initial writer\\u2019s block, she was able to write her thesis \\u2013 and worte it in a wave of euphoria.
\\n
\\nSecond, once she got her Dr. Titel, she created Scriptoria, the writing workshops for PhD students in 2002.
\\n
\\nIts goal? To make writing a thesis easier: when you know the right techniques, writing is no longer a chore - it can even become a source of joy.
