Hi!

I am just coming to the end of my PhD, and am starting to write my final discussion chapter, so far I've spent about 3 weeks looking at a blank screen trying to figure out what to put on there! Currently in my thesis I have an introduction chapter and 4 data chapters (each data chapter is written as an introduction, methods, result, and discussion).

I am now starting on my discussion, so far I have a very short paragraph outlining the key findings in the PhD. Then a lot of blank space, then a section at the end looking at future directions! Its the bit in the middle I am stuck on! I used a lot of very novel techniques and there is very little in the literature on my topic. I have used all the key references in my other sections, and I am concerned my discussion is going to be repetitive from my data chapter discussions.

What is the best way to tackle this? Any advice would be massively appreciated
Thanks!
