(1) The scholarly base.
(2) Time and task management.
(3) The psychology of writing; cognitive therapy and ego management.
(4) Prose. Good writing, the plain style, and the mechanics of writing, including best citation practices.
(5) The sculpting of the scholarly career.
My plan is to begin on January 1, 2011. I will select the best posts from the blog thus far in each category and retag them with the label SMT--The Book. I will revise these posts for style and write a brief introduction, then look into print on demand services.
At some point I will have to read the other books about scholarly writing, other guide books out there. I don't feel my book will replace those as much as be a supplement for a certain kind of reader who appreciates my mordant wit.
