I have to take a break from rage tweeting about *waves hands wildly* ALL OF THIS to invite you to join my summer academic journal article writing workshop! Pls RT widely! #acwri #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

If you've been struggling (and really, who hasn't?) to get your article written and submitted, this workshop can help! How? I create structure, accountability, and community to keep you moving forward.
I also help you learn all of the unspoken rules and weird secret handshakes of academic article publishing (and boy howdy, are there ever a lot). The idea is to increase your chances of getting an R and R decision rather than a desk reject or the looooong rejection.

In addition to journals with an explicit short paper option, many editors at other journals signal an interest in short papers.

Good morning and happy Monday! I need to write, finish and submit a book chapter (last year commitment, incredibly supportive research group, I can’t decline this late in the game). Deadline is Friday.
The challenge is #1500wordsaday until Friday and then take full weekend off.

The first step (for me) is to write an Initial Outline raulpacheco.org/2020/11/writin…
And then map out the writing strategy, start filling up Topic Sentences and Reflective Questions so I can get to the Detailed Outline

Once I create a Detailed Outline (helped by Topic Sentences and Reflective Questions) I move on to breaking down the work into Memorandums and expanding the Detailed Outline to make it as "full" as possible.

How I think about the academic writing process.
An #AcWri thread in gifs with parenting refs - b/c writing is a lot like watching your child grow up.

First comes the baby draft. Anyone who’s had a child in their life knows that along with the joys of a new baby, there’s a whole lot of crap too. It’s no different for writing. Consider this your shitty draft. ALL writing starts here.
Next comes your toddler draft. Nothing makes sense and initial excitement about writing this piece has more or less disappeared. You’re wondering why you did this to yourself and when this will ever end...

I’m going to use this paper to showcase how I highlight, scribble and file my printed materials. I use Sharpie fineliners to write, Stick’n rigid plastic tabs to sort and organize and I’m testing these Faber-Castell highlighters.
First I write the author and year on the plastic tab. I use rigid ones, other people use Post-It notes. For me, the rigidity allows for easier sorting (I file them in magazine holders labeled with the topic or name of the paper I am writing). Colour of label not relevant here.
I usually go through the Abstract, Introduction and Conclusion of a paper (hence AIC) to give myself an idea of the core concepts covered (and empirics if they are included). This is a form of rapid, skimming reading and not a substitute for deeper involvement with the work.
