- I do the code first (generally) before the writing.

- I try to do drafts of whole chapters at once, even if it’s an all nighter.

- I reread the chapter over and over again at every review stage.

- As many say to be a good writer you have to be a good reader. I read a lot.

- I get it done. I hear about people spending years on books. I keep it succinct and to the point. Most readers appreciate that. I never miss a deadline. I write in weeks what I hear about others writing in months. To be fair, I’m privileged that my job as a professor at a teaching college allows for this (over the summer for example).




Thank you for sharing.
