### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book to go if you don't know what to do about your writing
*by E***A on 12 August 2020*

In hindsight I understand I got this book as an excuse to procrastinate writing my thesis. Yet, this book encouraged me to reflect on my writing habits and expectations, which is slowly helping me to finish my writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who knew this would be so funny!
*by C***N on 15 April 2023*

This is aimed at academic writers and had all the hallmarks of being a rather dry and factual read. What a surprise - full of wit, insights and absolute down to earth sound and implementable advice. An easy and entertaining read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Write a lot without sacrificing your personal time
*by S***O on 9 January 2023*

The basic premise behind Paul Silvia's "How to Write a Lot" is if you want to write a lot without compromising your time, develop a writing schedule, stick to it, keep track of your writing goals/progress, and find a group/person to keep you accountable. The book is brief but packed with practical advice. The author has a no-nonsense approach to gadgets/gimmicks that distract us from writing. I also enjoyed the section about the most common excuses to delay writing. His snarky remarks are funny and keep the vibe light. The key is the habit itself; repetition will yield a consistent writing stream. I am already practicing some of the tips he shared. I recommend this book if you want to increase your writing output. My favorite quotes: "Writing is a skill, not a gift." "Instead of finding time to write, allot time to write." "Writing breeds more good ideas for writing." "Generating text and revising text are distinct parts of writing—don't do both at once." "Most readers who come across your article will see only the title and abstract, so make them count." "To write good articles, pick your journal first, outline, submit great first drafts, and craft excellent resubmission letters." "The world of peer-reviewed journals isn't scary, merely slow." "Grant proposals are funded relatively rather than absolutely." "Productive writing involves harnessing the power of habit, and habits come from repetition."
