I think about writing process more than is probably healthy. These pages are the result.
How writing works
- Minimalist academic writing - separating what is genuinely difficult from what is merely made to feel mysterious
- Sentence mapping - diagnosing sentence-level problems
- Reverse outlining - inspecting structure after the fact
- Writing as thinking - drafting as a cognitive process
Reconstructing writing advice
- Sanderson Lecture 1 - practice, method, and the professional frame
- Sanderson Lecture 2 - plot, promises, and the illusion of progress
- Jim Butcher and craft fundamentals - structure, scenes, and sequels
Other
- Anatomy of academic writing
- SSHRC doctoral proposal retrospective - what I wrote, what worked, what I’d change
