I'll only give one piece of unrequited advice: if you need reasonable adjustments for an interview - ask for them. The response you get might tell you everything you need to know about your future employer. /6

It's Friday, folks. What might a compassionate and realistic assessment of your writing progress this week sound like? If you struggle, try exploring what you would say to a friend. Image credit: Journey to Wellness

I'm grabbing some writing time today whilst Monty is at the groomers, working on a chapter on SI and why we don't talk about it enough. Feels like a good idea to work on such heavy stuff in a cafe. Where do you like to write when you need gentle support?

I’m writing about writing again over on substack, and how having a fixed idea of how our writing process should look can get in our way:

If you’ve got the Sunday scaries take a few slow deep breaths, maybe place a hand over your heart as you breathe, feel any tension in your body and direct your breath there, picture one thing you are looking forward to this week. #academicchatter #AcademicMentalHealth

[F Young Kaufman @FYoungKaufman]

Today over on Substack I wrote about the challenge of moving from thesis writing to developing a book. What have been your experiences of changing writing style? #Academicchatter #academicWriting #phdlife

How has your week gone? before you clock off tonight take a moment to check-in: what does your body need, your emotions, your mind? How can you make your weekend restful and restorative?
