Time to Write: November is Academic Writing Month (AcWriMo)
Need to get some writing done before the end of the year? It’s not too late to join AcWriMo in November! Join the RST community in person and online for a festival of writing, set your writing goals and have some company along the way.
Why do it?
Writing always seems to take longer than we expect, and for lots of us it’s really very hard work – so we procrastinate and procrastinate… Breaking through your usual barriers and establishing the habit of writing is very motivating. AcWriMo will kickstart your writing and provide a community to help you succeed.
How does it work?
Sign up via this Google Form. There you’ll find a link to the register to add your details (name and writing goals). You decide how many words you are going to write each day, or how many hours you will devote to writing each day. Aim high, but within reach. At the end of each day enter your output for the day; at the end of each week, tally the results and brag about your total.
We’ve also scheduled a series of writing events for AcWriMo participants during November – online writing groups, writing sessions in our seminar room (20 & 27 Nov), a blog for conversation, and workshops on fixing your writing trouble and working with the literature. Links and further details will be made available when you register.
If you have any questions, please contact Cally Guerin or Research Training. |
