Just Write Anyway

Make Real Progress on Your Dissertation Proposal

(Even When Life Happens)

Too busy for writing but still determined to
finish your dissertation?

You are not alone!


This workshop is for busy doctoral scholars who are ready to finally move their dissertation proposal forward without the anxious thoughts, avoidance, or all-nighters.


What We’ll Do Together

In 90-minutes, we will:

  • Identify the everyday busyness and "life happens" moments that pull you from your dissertation
  • Reveal my Just Write Anyway Framework, repeatable steps to help you balance life’s busyness while still building writing momentum
  • Learn practical strategies to build momentum that carries you through (even when life feels like a lot)

By the end, you’ll walk away with:

  • A simple 7-day micro writing plan that fits into your already full life while still building real momentum
  • Repeatable steps you can rely on whenever life’s demands leave you feeling stuck or behind
  • The confidence that (even with everything on your plate) you can move your dissertation proposal forward and finish.

Whether you’re stuck in the literature review cyclone, overwhelmed by your notes+highlights, or just want to experience real progress, this is for you.

Hey, I'm Dr. Dana!

From Scholar to Coach

Life is full...jobs, family, responsibilities, and everything else that doesn’t stop just because you’re writing a dissertation.

I know the overwhelm of the dissertation journey because I’ve lived it.

From struggling to find my own writing rhythm as a busy doc student to now coaching brilliant doctoral candidates.

At Just Write Dissertation Coaching, my mission is to help doctoral scholars move from busy to breakthrough by giving you the clarity, confidence, and community you need to finish your dissertation.

I believe writing doesn’t have to mean suffering in silence, waiting for motivation, or sacrificing your entire life at the altar of academia.

Instead, with the right structure, strategy, and support, you can keep momentum even when life happens and finally move from stuck to submitted.

Because life is busy but your dissertation can

still get done.


Writing is a skill, not a personality trait and with the right systems and support, you can make

consistent progress, celebrate wins, and still have a life outside your laptop.
