 "How to Write A Lot" is incredible. August 13, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a graduate student of psychology, I can always improve my writing. The strategies that P.J. Silvia's offers are the best tips I've ever received. I feel so confident that this book will make a big impact of my future writing. With a quick read, it's the greatest writing book out there.
A Must-Read for all burgeoning psychologists September 1, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Great advice from a great writer. The book is quick and easy to read, and, at least for me, very motivating. I can't wait to put his advice into practice!!!
The main piece of advice in this book is something that most people who have been in academia long enough will have heard before. The beauty of this book is not the novelty of the advice, but rather the straightforward way it is put. After reading the book, there are no possible excuse left for not getting started... The only option is to sit down and get to writing.
I would rank this right up there with "The Compleat Academic" on the must-reads of graduate training in psychology.
 A well-written, encouraging book October 10, 2007

This book is directed to those of us who need reminding that writing is hard work. The premise of scheduling is supported by many other authors. However, I recommend this one to my students just for easy reading and its encouraging tone.
A great motivator! February 9, 2008

This book offers a great kick in the pants for any writer who feels he or she is just not producing enough. The author's tips will improve your efficiency and relieve that creeping guilt you feel whenever you aren't writing. The psychological insights gleaned from his own professional reading about high-producing authors and procrastination give a solid theoretical foundation to his practical advice. Which you know already, really -- schedule a time for your writing, guard it fiercely, and just do it. But buy the book anyway and dip into it when you need a push!
Excellent! April 10, 2008

I finished reading the book in a day. In addition to the excellent writing style, the honesty and suggestions of the author will move you to start writing. I've already started to implement some of his suggestions. It works.
