Sometimes writing an outline helps to organize the thoughts and then the words flow.
I write best between 5 am - 1 pm. After 1 pm, I usually go do something else.
I like fun, clever authors like Oscar Wilde. Sometimes I'll read him or something similar and the next day my own writing becomes more fun.

I wanted to help people. It is pleasant to help others because reward neurotransmitters are released in our brains when we help others. I have wanted to write this book, "Straight A at Stanford and on to Harvard. How to learn faster and think better." by Peter Rogers MD for many years.
More and more information is becoming available on these topics. It was time to publish a comprehensive book on the subject of learning in the real world. The competitive academic environment of pre med and medical school is perfect for studying the learning process to determine what works in this setting.

Learning is a skill that can be improved a lot. So many people give up their dreams because they are intimidated by school.
My book shows them how to function at a higher level academically. Becoming aware of these learning methods brings hope. A person knows they can do better so they work harder.
I had the same brain when I was afraid of flunking out of Stanford as when I knew I was the best student in the room in some premed classes with A+ in organic chemistry and biology.
The difference was just being trained to be a better student.

School tends to emphasize the utilitarian methods of Strunk and White which is as concise as possible. That is ok, but somewhat boring.
I like the writing of Oscar Wilde. Professor James Heffernan says, "The Importance of Being Ernest" is about the importance of being playful.
Rhetoric should be taught more in high school and college. This will make you a better writer. I liked listening to the Farnsworth CD while looking at the book.
I liked the Brooks Langdon course on sentences especially the focus on cumulative syntax. The advice to read your writing out loud was also helpful.
