Perception of A Writer in My Field of Study

How would I find out how writing works in my field of study?

I believe that the best way to find out information is by communicating with people who have knowledge on the subject. I believe this to be the best way, because they had to go through the same process that you are going though, and can explain the process to you and what they learned much faster and easier than if you were to go through it yourself. If I were tying to figure our how writing works in my field of study, I would go to the library and ask for assistance, or even straight to an optometrist (my planned career). The conversation and advise they can offer is very valuable, because not only are you getting the information, but you are also building relationships with people that you can use to your advantage in the future.
