  • 15. Writing To begin writing you have to begin writing Writing generates ideas Don’t look for perfection, just write Give yourself permission to write badly All writing is rewriting
  • 16. Writing  Can start at any point, but generally not introduction or conclusion  Scientists often write the results section up first  Write in sentences  No more than one idea in each sentence  Logical movement from sentence to sentence and from paragraph to paragraph
