Fantastic session on publishing by @rosemdee yesterday, with great questions and discussion from the participants, both remotely and in the room. A recording will be online in due course, but here are a few super-useful take-home points:

Most people have imperfect conditions for writing (i.e. not weeks and weeks of uninterrupted space!), so you you have to make use of what you've got.

In the shorter spaces of an hour or so, don't try to write - unless you are able to write well in little bursts - but do things that support writing, like reading, or planning the structure and narrative etc.

If you know you're not going to be able to return to a piece of writing for a while, make some introductory/guiding notes in your text at the point where you left off. This makes it easier to pick up when you come back to it.

Read a few things better, more deeply, rather than trying to skim-read 20, 30, 40 (etc!!) pieces of literature.
