These first quotes are to get us started on the subject of writing, professional writing, technical writing<\/em><\/p>\n

  1. J. Ruth Gendler The book of qualities<\/em><\/strong>. <\/em>1984, Turquoise Mountain Publications, Harper Collins, New York<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Inspiration (page 90)\u00a0\u00a0 Inspiration is disturbing. She does not believe in guarantees or insurance or strict schedules. She is not interested in how well you write your grant proposal or what you do for a living or why you are too busy to see her. . .<\/p>\n

    Creativity (page 61) Creativity is not efficient\u00a0 . . .\u00a0 Sometimes creativity disappears completely or wanders around the back alleys for weeks at a time. She has a strong need to be occasionally anonymous. If you run into her at the post office during one of those periods, you will probably not recognize her . . .\u00a0 Creativity understands the secret meanings of the months when nothing seems to get done.<\/p>\n

    However, <\/em>Paul J. Silvia <\/strong>in How to write a lot <\/em>(2007)<\/p>\n

    waiting for inspiration does not work (p.23) . . . Some kinds of writing are so unpleasant that no<\/p>\n

    normal person would feel like doing them (p. 24).\u00a0 Writing a grant proposal is like doing taxes .<\/p>\n

    If you have moods where you\u2019re gripped by desire to read the Department of Health and<\/p>\n

    Human Services Grants.gov Application Guide SF424 (R&R) <\/em>then you don\u2019t need this book . .<\/p>\n

    .The Ancient Greeks assigned muses for poetry, music and tragedy, but they didn\u2019t mention a muse For journal articles written in APA style. . .\u00a0 we\u2019re not creating high literature . . We don\u2019t have fans lurking outside the conference hotel hoping for our autographs on recent journal publications . . . We do technical, professional writing (p26)<\/p>\n

    This is a textbook commonly used in BSW and MSW program accreditated by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). I first became acquainted with an earlier edition in 1999. I am relying on this book heavily for this presentation.\u00a0 Excellent chapters on Stress & Time Management, using micro skills in macro settings, advocacy and social action, using supervision, and developing and managing agency resources. And, the case studies are great too, and show the diversity and complexities that we really see.<\/p>\n
