End of summer writing panic

Do you have too many writing projects?

There are good reasons you have multiple writing projects on the go. However, too many active projects means progress is slow and you start to wonder if you can do this job at all.

Writing is a decision making process with Emily Doucet

In this episode, Jo talks with Emily Doucet [https://www.framingdevices.com] about the process of creating a draft of your book, article, or whatever.  Emily is a developmental editor and recently developed a course for scholarly writers to support the creation of an early draft of your manuscript. We talk about what a first draft needs; why thinking of it as a "shitty first draft" can be unhelpful; and what kinds of work might go into this stage of the process.

You need a writing practice

Of all the responsibilities you juggle as an academic, writing is perhaps the most frustrating. It’s very important to your career and your identify, but it’s also incredibly difficult to find time for, especially during teaching terms. I recommend establishing a regular writing practice.

End of summer writing panic

It is tempting to use the last week before teaching starts again for One Last Push on your writing projects, risking undoing all the resting and recharging you've also been doing over the summer. In this track, I discourage you from doing this and suggest what you can do instead.
