A-Z: Making a Writing Plan That Works
May 2, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
This session will be focused on building a writing plan that works for you. We will primarily focus on how to take a complete or near-complete project through to a full-length manuscript, such as transitioning from a poster or conference presentation to a journal article submission. I’ll share my favorite tools, resources, metaphors, and milestones that keep me motivated throughout the writing process. There will be a chance to reflect on your own writing styles and motivations, as well as try out a 5-minute-timed writing prompt.
