I think Reed Graham's piece is valuable reading for writers, but it is ironic that, given its subject matter, it has virtually no paragraph structure. In any case I can write amid distractions, but cannot do many other work related activities, such as copy writing or systems design, in such as environment. Much of my writing has taken place in Starbucks on weekends, where loud, jovial gatherings dominate. That is fortunate for me, as it is far easier to find a place to write when you don't have to avoid noisy locations. Great post.

It's true that practice is key and I always ask people to review my papers, edit them and proofread them. I hate as a reviewer to receive papers loaded with grammatical errors and as a non English native writer, it's hard sometimes to have the perfect manuscript. thanks for the tips!

The funny thing is, is that quite a lot of lecturers and professors need a little bit of nudge onto the correct once in a while. Goes to show that they're just as human.
