Instead, you need to determine the purpose of your writing project; search for
information, facts, and statistics to support your purpose; and remain aware of
information that contradicts the message you are aiming to convey. Think of it as an
exercise program. If you only do the easy exercises, and nothing else, you may develop a
single muscle group, but will never gain real strength. What kinds of skills, or strengths,
will you need in order to write well enough to succeed in your career? Solid research
skills combined with effective preparation for writing involve a range of skill sets that
require time and practice. The degree to which you make the extra effort will pay
dividends throughout your career.
