Starting to write (Some tips)

I've attended a workshop on "Starting to Write" organized by SLC (Student Learning Centre) yesterday. I learned few tips and strategies to keep writing and keep on improving writing:
Robert Barrass suggested that:
1) we should practice to record all of our practical work. Write it at all time and keep a good note. Where possible, we can make something like TOC to summarize the work. Towards the end, there will be a hierarchies of facts accumulated.
2) Write a progress reports as an aid to thinking and the development of ideas.
3) Use writing as an aid to observation: practice to describing research and results.

An advice by Robert Boice: "establish social skills as a writer". In addition, he said "Writing is a social skill: It demands a sense of audience, and profits from collaboration and social networking". Urm.. I guess we can be an official blogger as a starting point ;)

more to write next time insyaAllah.. Akma is waiting down there to go to Tai Ping.. gtg!
