The encoding stage refers to the process of putting information into memory. Put pen to paper (or finger tips to keyboard) and record important dates in a calendar, notebook or on your mobile device. Use each room or landmark on your journey to “signpost” different parts of the speech or each step of the process you need to remember.

I’m working on a novel, and the drafting and redrafting process means frequently revisiting material I wrote upwards of twelve months ago. This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. Something similar has happened with my fiction writing.

Write down anything, and I mean *anything*, that would potentially be a new blog post, book idea, promotion, whatever. so that I can capture ideas when away from pen and paper (or keyboard and screen). This information will definitely assist in that process. Carry a small notepad with you wherever you go. Powered by frugal

It’s a contradiction in that we want to use the vehicle to promote ourselves, but that same vehicle is used for piracy. Just once in a while… I find I have those moments as well, and if you’re not right there with the pen or the keyboard, then you’ve lost it. Nice to read about your writing process in-depth.

I’d argue that the mere process of getting degree, of getting educated, is an important one and teaches you how to think. Do I write routinely about Policy and Management or about Labor Relations?
