Key points:
- @LindsayMayka - massive fieldwork, making sense of it, instead she wrote memos, not "a full dissertation"
- @ProfSaunders - the unpredictability of the process of writing itself.
- @adam_m_auerbach - impostor syndrome, raised expectations about the book.

In the second round of commentaries, @LindsayMayka mentions "writing dates" (log on to Zoom, write together for a couple of hours, converse on the chat about stuff if it comes up) - this is *exactly* the process that @amandabittner 's writing group follows (9-11 EST M-F)
I love the idea about book workshops that @adam_m_auerbach (a group of scholars read your book manuscript and provide you with detailed feedback). I don't know if I would be able to do a book workshop on my topic at the moment (bottled water), because everyone is over-extended.
