Writing Rebooted - get your pens/keyboards ready...
Have you been missing our Friday Writing Rebooted sessions? The good news is that they are making a welcome return from Friday 22nd September.
This semester we will be running the sessions on Friday mornings, 10am-1pm. They will be on Zoom.
For those of you new to Writing Rebooted, here's what it is all about:
Part of the LAHRI Researcher Development programme for 2023-24, this repeating session is designed for researchers who are looking for a quiet, supportive and structured space to get words down on the page or edit their writing.
This session will be run on Zoom so you can be anywhere to join in. All you need is a computer and either a headset or a room where you can hear the computer's audio.
Like the University Libraries' 'Shut up and Write' sessions, we have scheduled these so that they observe the Pomodoro Method, breaking the full three hours up into delightful, bite-sized 25-minute sessions of concentrated writing interspersed with short breaks. This will give you a chance to set and share some writing goals with colleagues from across the Faculty.
Whether you need to splurge some initial thoughts and ideas, or make final stage refinements to a prospective publication, Writing Rebooted sessions will help you to carve out dedicated time in a supportive environment.
