One of the most beautiful things in this wide world is reading science that is well written and reported. It is interesting, dynamic, fun and it teaches you novel facts about our universe. But writing a manuscript with all those characteristics is a remarkable challenge. We get stuck while facing the blank page and our ideas are rarely inked the way we would have liked. Have you ever been in such a situation? Sitting down, ready to write an essay, a manuscript or even a love letter…, and, although you have all the ideas in your mind, they simply refuse to be placed on paper. Here, I bring you a remedy against scientific writing block. On the next few pages I will tell you a bit about my writing experience, so you can face the page and write texts that look a lot closer to what you were thinking.
