Sciwrite Process

Plan and run the writing process for a scientific paper or thesis chapter — pre-writing and organisation, drafting fast without perfectionism, revision, and the final pre-submission checklist — following Stanford's Writing in the Sciences. Use this skill whenever someone is stuck, procrastinating, or asking how to approach a piece of writing rather than asking about the text itself: "I don't know where to start", "I've been staring at this for weeks", "I'm about to write chapter 3", "how do I stop rewriting the same paragraph", "how long should this take", "what should I check before I submit", "my draft is a mess and I don't know why". Also use it when someone asks how to organise sources and notes before writing, or wants a revision strategy for a finished draft. Do NOT use it for editing prose (sciwrite-prose) or for what belongs in each section, or the order in which to write the sections (sciwrite-manuscript).
