research and writing

The casual sharing of two doctoral students is very encouraging and challenging. One is aiming to do "comps" on his 4th semester, and the other is working hard on his dissertation so he can graduate in December this year (3.5 years in the program). O Lord! Grant me wisdom and help me to like research and writing. It has always been a pressure and burden to write academic papers. Help me enjoy doing research and overcome the paralyzing hindrance of expressing my thoughts into words.
