#LTUacwrimo livechats – How to join in

This year, #LTUacwrimo will feature two Twitter livechats to kick off and conclude Academic Writing Month!

1. The first is on THURSDAY 6 Nov, 11am-12pm.
2. The second is on FRIDAY 28 Nov, 11am-12pm.

Join in the first livechat to share tips and strategies for finding time to write, writing schedules, what to do about writer’s block, and much more! It’s a great chance to meet other La Trobe participants involved in the #LTUacwrimo challenge.

The second livechat gives you the chance to share how you went during the challenge, things you’ve learned, and successes and obstacles you’ve had. It will also feature the announcement of the #LTUacwrimo photo competition winner!

What is a Twitter livechat?

In this case, we’re using #LTUacwrimo. This means you can follow everything anyone is saying about #LTUacwrimo by checking this tag. See what has been said using the tag so far: #LTUacwrimo
