Neurobiology of writing

[Hugh Kearns @ithinkwellHugh]

High quality writing is mostly re-writing and re-re-writing. You won't get it right the first time. So be a bit kinder to your first drafts. They are a work in progress. They give you something to work with. #PhDForum #EMCRforum #acwri #SUAW

Nothing is more empowering than teaching/reading a powerful voice in America today like @KieseLaymon @LinfieldUniv and then going as a class to hear him engage in a brutally honest conversation with @AdamDavisOHm @orhumanities. Students were thrilled to take a photo with Kiese!

Me to myself every day

[Mushtaq Bilal, PhD @MushtaqBilalPhD]

If you are starting on a piece of writing, start by writing or dictating as many words as possible.

You need a large mass of words to work with initially.

Don't worry about quality, structure, or spellings.

Just put words on the page/screen so the blank page doesn't scare you.

Editing your own writing is like when you’re at the opticians and they put a succession of lenses on you and keep asking, “Better or worse?”
