I just came across this quote from Charles Darwin which I think is pertinent:
"I am just now beginning to discover the difficulty of expressing one's ideas on paper. As long as it consists solely of description it is pretty easy: but where reasoning comes into play, to make proper connections, a clearness and a moderate fluency, is to me a difficulty of which I had no idea."
"I am just now beginning to discover the difficulty of expressing one's ideas on paper. As long as it consists solely of description it is pretty easy: but where reasoning comes into play, to make proper connections, a clearness and a moderate fluency, is to me a difficulty of which I had no idea."
So, if you find academic writing a struggle, remember you are not alone!
