Discussion: "How did I wrote my first paper?"

RECETOX discussion, this time specifically aimed at students and early-stage researchers (such as, but not limited to post-docs).
We will be discussing about obstacles and joys of manuscript publication process and all related issues - "How did I wrote my first paper?". The topics might also cover, but not limit to: How to turn data into a manuscript? Are reviewers the bitter enemies? How to write and not get lost or mad? How bad will I perrish if I decide to publish? Or, better, bring your own!
