ABSTRACT

Clinicians are busy people who must develop strategies for making time to write. With many obligations, their first strategy may be to try to clear the decks to make way for the current project. When writing takes on a more constant challenge, medical writers find themselves wedging writing in between myriad other tasks and commitments. Ultimately, committed writers, with effort and help, find a way to schedule writing as another essential activity in their lives.
