We’re halfway through NaNoWriMo! How is your novel coming along? For me, I started my novel months ago, so my goal is a little different: finishing the rough draft by the end of the month. Will I make it? Honestly, I don’t think so. I keep changing subplots. I need to figure out the timeline of my main character’s development. And there are scenes I want to move around. But this is a reminder that the amount of time it takes to write a novel is not the most important thing. It’s the quality that counts. And as writing is a form of self-expression, we want to be as happy as we can with the result. Of course, we can never expect perfection. And it can be hard to know when to stop striving for it. But at the end of the day, we want to have a novel we’re proud of. That’s why I won’t finish my novel by the end of the month. And I’m okay with that. So far, I’ve got a lot done, and I’m happy with that. So, aim for your NaNoWriMo goal, but don’t be discouraged if you don’t reach it. Let’s all just write something we’re proud of. #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2023 #writingtips #novelwriting #writingcommunity

To be super hackneyed, it takes a community to raise a manuscript, and not just once it makes it to the publisher. We don't write alone, and our ideas develop from reading, research, conversations, reviews, (generous) critique, conference presentations (and happy hours), teaching, writing groups, and more. It's understandable to want to write in private and keep your manuscript under wraps for confidentiality issues and uncertainty, vulnerability, and perfectionism. But honestly, your manuscript wants to grow, and it's very hard to get to the next stage without others. Editors can be one of those helpful interlocutors, especially if you're feeling isolated or unsure about your project's visibility in your own field. And especially if you're feeling inundated by community and want an outsider's perspective. Your community probably even has suggestions for good editors they've worked with to whom you could reach out! #AmEditing #CommunityScholarship#WritingCoach #ScholarlyPublishing#Humanities #Feedback #WritingTip1

#hivemind #substack verses #medium A number of years ago I wrote a few articles on medium. It was the go to public blog platform then. Now, it seems most here use substack. I’ve heard mixed reviews about substack, especially with latest changes. I’ve started writing again. I have been using medium, purely because that’s what I’d already used and so it felt easy. Should I move my article to substack and continue my writing there? For writers: What are your thoughts of pros and cons between medium and substack? For readers: Which do you prefer?

When we interviewed our colleagues 👥 João Paulo Figueira and David Gomes about their experience and insights into having their own tech blogs, we asked what advice they would give new writers. 🗣️🧩 Their answers focused on ensuring that the writing is clear and easy to follow, and to dive in and get started, without the doubt and the fear. ✍️⌨️👏 From their perspective, any insight, is an important insight if it helps others learn and grow. 🧠📚 To dive further into their top tips, check out our visual below and share your top tech writing tips with us and the world, in the comment section! 📱🗯️ To revisit their article, visit our Medium page: https://lnkd.in/gxSBVM_Z #wearetblx #tblxinsights #writingtips #techblogs #insights #knowledgesharing #infoexchange #blogcontent 

This weekend, as I was jotting down some thoughts from my recent project, I was reminded of how transformative the act of writing can be. Writing about what we learn isn’t just note-taking. It's a profound tool for deepening understanding and revealing the gaps in our knowledge. It pushes us to explore topics more thoroughly and articulate our thoughts with more precision. #ContinuousLearning #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment

FLASH FICTION: THE POWER OF BREVITY Are you ready to get writing? Surely you've got time for a little bit of flash--that short yet evocative form. In this fun and highly generative class, we'll read some flash fiction each week and discuss how it works. Then you'll get a writing prompt related to the discussion and the opportunity to share your work with peers to receive light, constructive feedback. At the end of the class, you'll have eight brand new stories, a fuller understanding of flash fiction, and the inspiration to keep writing. I'm offering this course THROUGH LIT!COMMONS. If you sign up for just two months of Lit!Commons (July and August), you get this class, as well as everything else that's wonderful about that space. (And it's less expensive than a regular course, too!) 8 weeks, Thursdays, 7/11/24 - 8/29/24, 7-8pm CST, Online (live meetings through zoom) PLUS an asynchronous path that you can complete on your own time! Wait until July, then register:
