Writing and Publishing

These resources cover topics such as writing the dissertation, journal articles, books, and grants, the publishing process, and how to write a lot.

All writers know that on some golden mornings they are touched by the wand--are on intimate terms with poetry and cosmic truth. I have experienced those moments myself. Their lesson is simple: It's a total illusion. I am persuaded that most writers, like most shoemakers, are about as good one day as the next. The meaning is that one had better go to his or her typewriter every morning and stay there.
John Kenneth Galbraith
