On the 12th day of Christmas,
Take a break. Walking away from your writing can refresh your thinking and your motivation. Return to the work with renewed enthusiasm in 2024!
Best wishes to you all for happy holiday season!

On the 11th day of Christmas, listen to the cadence of lyrics in a holiday song. Your academic writing uses cadence, too. Techniques like the rule of 3, alliteration, parallel structure, & compound verbs all use pattern/ rhythm to strengthen meaning. Try it!

On the 7th day of Christmas:
Write it like you'd say it! Just for a moment, let's drop the jargon, the academese, the flowery stuff...and say what we mean. Feels good, doesn't it? Now, where might that work in your next manuscript?

On the 6th day of Christmas:
Remember to read not only for content; try also to notice how the piece is written. Develop your writing repertoire by taking note of other writers' apt metaphors, striking images, and elegant phrasings.

On the 5th day of Christmas, build up someone else's writing confidence. Email an author to say you loved their unusual title; tell a graduate student how much improved their paragraphs are; thank a co-author for sending such a strong draft for feedback.

On the 4th day of Christmas, try altering your habitual sentence style. Tend towards long sentences? Write a short, snappy one -- it will grab the reader's attention. Prefer short sentences? Try blending some together, so that an idea develops.

On the 3rd day of Christmas:
Review a piece of writing and note your go-to verbs. Try to change every other one to something more robust. E.g., Change "Burnout is prevalent..." to "Burnout threatens..."

On the 2nd day of Christmas:
Write a beautiful sentence that you'll maybe never publish, but it gives you joy to create it. Then show a colleague who'll appreciate it, like @ChrisWatling3

On the first day of Christmas:
Reread the best thing you ever wrote, and remind yourself that YOU CAN DO THIS.
If you’re new to memoir writing, try not to think about the process at first. All that worrying will block you from getting words on paper, so don’t think, and just write. #writing #amwriting #storytelling #12DaysofWritingTips
Writing memoirs require crafting, character development, dialogue, format, style choices and flow. You aren’t just putting a journal out to the world. It is storytelling in its rawest form. Learn more in this piece from @kikiwalter: https://t.co/RedA4F5Ym6 #12DaysofWritingTips
Aim to be responsible in how you represent others when you write. Ask for someone’s permission to be included in your story and respect any boundaries they give you when writing about them. #MemoirWriting #storytelling #writing #12DaysofWritingTips
Want to write a #memoir but don’t know where to start? Speed write a list of any memories that come to mind within three minutes. It’ll get your juices flowing and give you some inspiration. #MemoirWriting #WritingPrompt #12DaysofWritingTips
Drafts will still be there when you return. Spend time with loved ones this holiday season so you can be refreshed and focused when you get back to writing. #writing #selfcare #MemoirWriting #12DaysofWritingTips
Memoirs are so personal and our lives are not linear. But your readers should still see your protagonist change as they gain insight, and most importantly, identify in some way with what they’re going through. #memoir #MemoirWriting #12DaysofWritingTips
Don’t try to be someone else or write what you think will fit. Write what you write, and write it well. #writingcommunity #writerslift #12daysofwritingtips
If you’re trying to add emphasis and pause and excitement to your story, you need to do it with your words, not fancy punctuation.#medium #mediumwriters #12DaysofWritingTips
Even if you already know what you want to write about, photographs from that time, or songs that make you think of that time period, can inspire additional ideas for your story. #memoir #MemoirWriting #12DaysofWritingTips
Even though your story is personal, leave enough room for your reader to find something of themselves in the story. #memoir #storytelling #12DaysofWritingTips
