I had the pleasure of editing this volume and co-authoring a chapter with my fantastic co-editors, Joana Pais Zozimo and Kate Sotejeff-Wilson.

The 13 chapters represent myriad voices, perspectives and writer populations not typically present in the literature and showcase the different ways #StructuredWriting facilitators run, experience and adapt #WritingRetreats and related #SocialWriting models across a variety of contexts within and adjacent to academic institutions.

The elderly woman introduced herself to the hotel's front desk staff as 'Mrs. Hamilton from room 904.' That's how it began.

This piece from @PatThomson reminded me that #AcWriMo is more than just writing productivity. I love the idea of #RegenerativeWriting.

Reading it got me to reflect on my #AcademicWriting habits, as I've developed some bad ones and let some good ones slip over the last couple of years. To do this I'm using the Writing BASE diagnostic exercise in Prof Helen Sword's fabulous book on successful academic writing Air & Time & Light & Space. You can find the tool here... https://lnkd.in/gXKT62uH and links to the book.

The tool has confirmed what I suspected. I've fallen out of love with writing and need to work on my behavioural and social habits. This isn't surprising considering what we've been through over the last couple of years. Our routines and social lives were disrupted—big time! To address this I'm starting with re-introducing consistent #SocialWriting. I love social writing! It's energising and motivating, which makes my writing joyful and increases my #WritingProductivity 😊

How do you feel about social writing? Is this something you want to do more of? How would you like to improve your social writing habits?
