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 schedule of events. https://stephaniezihms.blog/2023/10/20/write-away-on-the-move-writing-retreat-on-a-train/ @academicchatter

The new blogpost on the poetics of my book The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia to be released on 16 Jan 2024 by Manchester University Press.

It explains with examples how to integrate poetry in academic non-fiction.

Currently writing an article that should be 8,000 words. I am now at 17,000 and I, as a beginner in professional academic writing, need some advice. I know I am the kind of person who thinks through writing. This means that I have probably written a lot that can be cut and left out.

But how do I learn to write reasonably lengthy papers? I swear I thought my topic and questions could be addressed in 8,000 words. I had an outline ... with word counts per section. Still, it went completely off the rails.

Will this get better at some point?

Could it be referred to challenges? (On the door of a room at the Gästhaus I am staying in ) @academicchatter
