Disconnect your airport or your modem or whatever your internet connection is. An introduction might be 3 paragraphs. You could revise it in 3 25 minute session, with 25 minutes for each paragraph.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-65487379459461168442011-10-27T07:20:06.283-05:002011-10-27T07:20:06.283-05:00I'm interested in your thoughts on task manage...I'm interested in your thoughts on task management for writing, it's definitely one of my weaknesses. I've identified my prime time and I know where to go when I want to write. But when I sit down to a task like "Revise the intro," I end up reading blogs about writing instead of revising my intro.Maritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869868283653673615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-4360516121337492952011-10-26T09:37:11.507-05:002011-10-26T09:37:11.507-05:00Yes, my aim is to demystify it.Yes, my aim is to demystify it.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-3773957696508642152011-10-26T09:35:21.370-05:002011-10-26T09:35:21.370-05:00I look forward to hearing how this goes.

I think that some of the things you have to say about writing can come as a surprise to aspiring academics who often learn to mystify the whole writing process.Tanya Golash-Bozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299920277816825958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055932257464975902.post-9465516620121466092011-10-25T15:50:53.517-05:002011-10-25T15:50:53.517-05:00We do see ourselves more as writers than the socio...We do see ourselves more as writers than the sociologists do, I think.

I wonder, however, if this applies to lit profs. Do lit profs have trouble seeing themselves as writers?Tanya Golash-Bozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299920277816825958noreply@blogger.com
