Part of my summer reading is @WmGermano 's book on getting your dissertation published as a book. Here are my key takeaways:
1. "Writing isn't a record of your thinking. It is your thinking" (28) so you have to write to think, come up with ideas, research. etc. (1) My takeaway here is that we should not think of our writing as a separate activity. Keep writing, reading, thinking, exploring everyday.

Let's talk about writing, more specifically economical writing.

Let's talk about economical writing.
Deidre McCloskey's little book on #EconomicalWriting is fantastic!!!
See my top takeaways from the book below 1. 'economic models are economic poetry' (18)
some economic arguments are a series of analogies, just like poetry. Realise it. Use it to your advantage. It can make your writing more persuasive.
