Before telling you what topic will be this post, I want to apologize for not publishing before. As it happens to all of us, sometimes life present you with different challenges and when you decide to write about something on a regular basis, sometimes inspiration just elude us. It is the same even when you are writing a scientific article. So in today’s post we are going to talk about writing.

You just don’t need only inspiration to write, you also need some kind of mind frame and sometimes even specific times to write. This is true not only when writing blogs, novels but also when writing scientific articles too. Probably one of the main lessons I learned during my doctorate was that you have some times during the day where you are more focus and motivated to write. Therefore you need to recognize those times to take advantage and write. For each person that time varies. For some are early mornings and for others is late at night. Those times also can change over time and be different at different stages of your life.

Recently, we also found in different blogs and even papers focus on writing, descriptions of some interesting techniques to make your writing for focus. One technique I try to use, although not always very successfully is the pomodoro technique. This technique basically chooses some time blocks specifically to write your ideas, while at other time blocks you focus on editing tasks. I have tried this in short and long blocks of times and can said that sometimes it works but other times not so much. That is why I say you also need to have some kind of mind frame so writing become fluently, even more if you write in a language different than your native language. I can not tell you how long some post had taken me to finish, some seems to take just a few couple of dozen minutes while others seem to take longer. It really is a craft that to me seems to be evolving all the time.

So, if you, like me, find yourself struggling to write anything academic or not, don’t feel discourage when your feel blocked. Just keep trying and at some point, your writing will loose and you can continue enjoying the learning process that writing is…
