Interest, Novelty, Challenge, Urgency with Christine Weddle

Planning is hard.

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.

Hyperfocus and intensive writing styles

Do you prefer to write in longer, intense, sessions?  Does some of the advice out there make you feel like you shouldn't?  You don't have to become someone you are not.  In this track, I talk about how this kind of session might work for some people, how to check that it really IS working for you, and how to make sure you get writing done even though this kind of time is more difficult to find and protect.  Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/hyperfocus-and-intensive-writing-styles/ [https://jovanevery.co.uk/hyperfocus-and-intensive-writing-styles/] For more advice, support and perspectives like this, sign up to my free monthly newsletter: https://jovanevery.co.uk/newsletter [https://jovanevery.co.uk/newsletter]  To find out how short chunks of time can revolutionise your writing, take the FREE 15 Minute Writing Challenge course: https://jovanevery.co.uk/15-min-writing-challenge/ [https://jovanevery.co.uk/15-min-writing-challenge/]  Or join the Academic Writing Studio community: https://academicwritingstudio.co.uk [https://academicwritingstudio.co.uk]   Support me on KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery [https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery]   I'm no longer on Twitter, but I'm on Bluesky here: https://bsky.app/profile/jovanevery.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/jovanevery.bsky.social]  Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/]   Or follow along on Facebook here: https://facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach [https://facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach]
