Here are some other points participants listed to help enable their new writing program to function more smoothly:
Create a plan of action each day for the
following day’s writing.
Keep emails and other tasks for the afternoon.
Limit other commitments generally, while writing
is a priority.
Be persistent.
Build in reading time.
A number of Writing Challenge participants noted that they planned to dedicate the mornings to writing. You might like to use the discussion forum below to organise a meet up in the Charles La Trobe Lounge or the Postgraduate room in the Library.
Each day this blog will be updated with useful reflections on academic writing. You will also have access to the progress of fellow travellers on the La Trobe Writing Challenge journey, who each have their own goals and plans in place to achieve them. Remember, this is a shared journey; please use the comments space to share you goals, accomplishments, tips and strategies and to communicate with other participants.
It is not too late to sign up for the Challenge or to encourage your peers to also get involved. You can still register here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C5Y6YVY
