How to Write a Lot: A Practical Guide to Productive Academic Writing by Paul J. Silvia (3/10/2009 by TQM Doctor)
How to Write a Lot was an easy read that I finished two evenings. With no trouble, I followed Silvia’s light-hearted and engaging writing style where he encourages practical solutions to the chore of academic writing. His first and most valuable chapter tackles the plausible but false claims academic writers use to keep from writing. Other chapters touch on motivation, style, support groups, writing for journals, and writing books. Keep this book near your desk and read it as a motivational diversion anytime you need a kick in the pants.
