Thesis writing

6 years of research seem to have blocked my creative streaks - I forgot the art of putting words together to convey ideas, and do not even seem to have ideas to convey. How I reached here is immaterial, how I get out of here matters most.  The clock is ticking, I have 8 weeks to bring in the magic touch back and to 'wow' people. This  is what the doctor prescribed.

1. Start with mind map of my argument.
2. Then make a mind map of my dissertation linking the logic and argumentation strands between chapters.
3. Make different, detailed mind maps for the chapters.

As I do not think of any other way to come out of this myself, I am getting into this exercise. I am going 5 centuries back to the 'Creation of Adam' painted by Michelangelo in the  Sistine Chapel's ceiling, to draw inspiration from the near-touching hands of God and Adam. I am trying to get in touch with the God within me, I am trying to get my 'writing' back.. I have nothing to lose, but time. 
Be patient, be kind, be at peace, as I unfold.
