Why can't I just write one paragraph?

Why can't I just write one paragraph of my dissertation per day? Every day I could write one really exciting, sexy and/or spooky paragraph. I could do that! Why can't people be happy with that?

Then, in 3 years, my dissertation would be done.

Maybe the problem is that my dissertation is planned to be so long? Maybe a 70-pager would be better?

Well, I mean, if you think about it like you only need to write about 4 paragraphs a day, then you'll be done in less than a year. 4 paragraphs doesn't seem like very much.

Of course, I know nothing about dissertation writing. But I think if your dissertation had a ratio of 1 sexy paragraph to 3 mundane paragraphs it would be a pretty good diss.
