Classic authors have attempted to pass on their understanding of writing. Orwell for instance suggested a few rules of good writing, though he himself deviated from them (see here).

It may be possible to break down some of the components and facets of this elusive process.

• the writing process itself
• the text and its language
• differences between legal fields
• a collective dimension of writing
• techniques of writing and organising ideas (eg: Mumford method)
• the editing and publishing process
• different types of writing (eg: book reviews, case notes, grant-writing)
• the aftermath of writing
• events that make me revise my approach to writing
• the environment of writing
• sources of inspiration
• desert island books
• getting to know oneself
