  • You don’t have to be a great “writer” to produce good economics writing.
  • Getting started is often the hardest part of writing.
    • Break the paper down into smaller parts, and get started on the simpler tasks.
    • If stuck, literature review can be a great way to begin.
  • The best laid plans for writing a good paper can be wrecked by poor time management.
  • Set deadlines for completing each phase of the project:
    • Start the project by finding your topic.
    • Begin your research.
    • Start an outline.
    • Write a draft.
    • Revise and polish.
