No matter how large a finished thesis is, it has been written section by section. To be able to write it well, you need to do two things at the same time. You need to hold in your head the main argument of the bigger part so your section fits well and contributes to it. At the same time, you have to concentrate on this section and see it as a minor whole with its own purpose and own structure. Cultivate the ability to foreground one part or section within the whole framework. If finding the structure or flow of the argument of the section you're working on is giving problems, you could try these two strategies: telling yourself a story (see links below for examples), and concept or mind mapping. For example, you know the general topic is blood groups in dogs and you want to think about the literature review and how you are going to structure it. You could just decide to draw a straightforward mind map such as this: Once you have it before you like this, it is easier to make decisions about any relationships between the separate groups, the relative importance and therefore proportion of each part, and what would be the best order of presentation.
