Hi thank you very much for your time. Yes indeed. I have to publish empirical work which even makes things more complicated but I guess at the end of the day if I want to join academia I have to improve this skill as well. How about you, yourself? How do you publish? I mean when you sit down an write how do you organize your thoughts? And how do you incorporate that into academic writing?

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes English is indeed my second language but that's not much of an issue. What I lack is having an analytical mind. I don't have an analytical mind and that's what makes it difficult to make sense of what I want to write. I do quite well on literature review but when it comes to data analysis everything collapses. Thanks for the reading recommendations. I will read through it.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately they don't for the postdocs as we are already expected to be able to write. I am in the field of international relations and political sciences.

I don't even know how to start writing about my concern as it is quite embarrassing. I was lucky enough to score a postdoc position but I have great weakness in writing. I basically can't write. I am on a 1 year postdoc position and we are required to publish 2 articles. Both articles need to be published in high impact factor journals and I am already 3 months into my postdoc. I can't even get my ideas together let alone writing. I would appreciate any insight.
