How to Write a Lot A Practical Guide to Productive Academic Writing

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! This was a most excellent guide to formulating a strategy on writing more consistently, on schedule, and with purpose of mind. Dr. Silvia has created a very readable text that should be read by any aspiring academic and graduate students alike. It is well worth your time. I particularly enjoyed his chapters on writing journal articles and books.

Mostly specific to data-based scientific writing; the author is a psychologist, writing and publishing studies and fairly straightforward histories. Much of the criticism about writer's block etc. is not applicable to either fiction writing or to the sort of contemplative/philosophical writing involved in my academic niche (in classics, there is very little reliable data and even then, I'm not an archaeologist with findings, I'm discussing layers of social history).
This is a quick read and probably worth it for the scientists out there, but for a more general audience the only tangible takeaway is: schedule writing time. Which, again, isn't super applicable for anyone who spends almost all their 'work' time writing (including researching and planning, which yes is 'writing,' but which isn't helping my word count or stress-induced inability to string a sentence together).

In essence: it is a solid reality check for procrastinators and the excuse-prone.
(I just wish that were my problem.)
