The Counterintuitive Writer takes a new perspective on academic writing, encouraging readers to follow the road "less travelled" as they figure out what they want to write and how to write it. Using easy-to-understand examples, practical exercises, and innovative approaches that apply to various types of writing, this text guides the reader on how to: • Overcome writer's block • Develop a focused topic • Organize essays, reports and research papers • Apply the principle of "predictable structure and unpredictable content" to capture - and hold - readers' attention • Craft a compelling introduction and conclusion • Write concise, coherent paragraphs • Summarize key points; and • Avoid common writing pitfalls, including logical fallacies, unintentional plagiarism, and grammatical errors.
