A Journal Article Takes 12 Weeks to Write

All to often I forget that writing takes time. If I have learned anything about preparing my first manuscript for submission is that it is long and arduous. Also, that you have to not attach any sort of emotion to the words you write because they are all going to be hashed to death beyond recognition and reincarnating in a form that sounds more like your professor's and not yours. Just saying.

So start early and start often.

Some books I will adding to my repertoire:
Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks: A Guide to Academic Publishing Success
How to Write a Lot: A Practical Guide to Productive Academic Writing
