Stinking PhD - get published already.

I'm feeling really frustrated right now.

Right now I am desperately trying to finish up some manuscripts from my PhD. But I can't figure out why I'm having such a hard time converting my efforts into something productive (ie. pubs). I've been working on this one analysis for what feels like ages and it's essentially preventing me from getting this work published.

I feel quite alone in this endeavour.

I know the project is a good piece of science and I know that I'm not stupid - but right now I feel incredibly dumb and like shelving the stinking PhD forever.

AHHHHHHH!!!

no! you must persevere! it would be a loss to you and to science if your PhD work isn't published.

have you thought of running your problem by BaldandTall? he may have some insight...
