I usually have one writing book in my reading rotation. They vary based on what I need & the state of my writing. My reaction to Pressfield's The War of Art is always the most telling.

As a freelance writer pre-grad school, it resonated deeply. I needed that "get over yourself & get to work" message.

But during other periods, I'm really turned off by it. That usually means I need to slow down, think through tough ideas, and/or seek out guidance.

Finally managed to do a little write-up about our writing retreat on a train: Write-Away! On the move. So excited to do this again in November as part of our fully packed #AcWriMo schedule of events. https://stephaniezihms.blog/2023/10/20/write-away-on-the-move-writing-retreat-on-a-train/ @academicchatter #AcademicWriting #AcWri

It's two weeks until writing month! What's everyones plans for AcWriMo and NaNoWriMo?
I'm planning to write an 8,000-word chapter, re-write a book entry that will be published in 24, and attend writing retreats.

Any recommendations for apps to track my writing?

Academics, writers, editors, and everyone else who puts pen to paper, what are your goals?
