Read widely to absorb vocabulary, rhythm, and structure; write daily to build fluency; keep a research journal as a source of raw ideas; structure early with headings and clear transitions; keep sentences sharp and paragraphs focused on one idea with a topic sentence; read work aloud to test rhythm and clarity; integrate references as extensions of your argument, always followed by analysis; check the significance of each point for the overall thesis; edit by subtraction, cutting redundancy and weak connectors; seek feedback with detachment; value concision over verbosity; highlight originality in your contribution; and treat writing as disciplined labour, with schedules and deliberate practice targeting weaknesses, so that clarity, consistency, and rigor become the core of your craft.
