Write early, write often
Beginning early makes the final task much moremanageable
Writing is a craft that has to be practiced
Revision is easier than filling a blank page
Expressing your thoughts and ideas in words can
enhance their development

Thankfully journals are easy
They tell you what they want (journal overview). They tell you how they want it (journal style guide).
They tell you who the audience is.
They tell you who the gatekeepers are (journal editorial
boards). They show you examples of what they have published in
the past (every article in the journal).
