Thread by @raulpacheco

Micro-thread on what to do when feeling stuck and not making progress in your #AcWri writing. I had been feeling stuck, so here's what I've been doing:
- Preparing R&R memorandums (response-to-editors-and-reviewers) - this doesn't mean, THE ENTIRE MEMO, but making progress.

- Writing down a detailed description of the case study (case studies')
- Writing down the methodology I used, research design/research strategy/empirical strategy
- Actively reading (raulpacheco.org/2019/02/readin…)
- Citation tracing and mind-mapping raulpacheco.org/2016/06/how-to…

- Drafting a new version of my Drafts Review Matrix raulpacheco.org/2018/02/an-imp… (or updating it, as I make progress in the revision)

When I have been really, REALLY stuck, I've spent some time re-planning my summer goals. raulpacheco.org/2019/04/planni…

- Copying and pasting threads.

There is one thing I absolutely hate and where I'm always stuck: filling out reimbursement forms and preparing all receipts, etc., making an Excel spreadsheet with all expenses I've had. If you're stuck in administrative hell, I've got no words of help for you except SOLIDARITY.

- Lateral writing raulpacheco.org/2018/10/latera… - this means, writing stuff that I don't necessarily have on deadline but that I feel so much at ease that I can fill out entire paragraphs and get my writing juices flowing. So, I have 2 key R&Rs and 4 papers on the go. I may...

... spend some time writing pieces of the other 4 papers (NOT THE ENTIRE DAY!) so as to get my fingers moving, and then go back to the R&Rs I have to return to the editor. I may also drop some text into my book manuscripts.

- Re-run analyses w/ other method
