Further to yesterday’s convo, I would really like academics who ARE writing, to stop telling themselves they aren't writing ENOUGH. Allow yourself to be pleased with what you did today. Show up again tomorrow, even if its only to review things over coffee. Enjoy your writing!
Jo VanEveryFWIW, it is unusual to be able to write for more than 2 or 3 hours a day. Maybe another hour or so of working on the book in a less cognitively demanding way. (I know Rachel is not alone in thinking otherwise)
