If you'd like to see all the canceled NEH grants at variance with agency priorities that allegedly will fail to inspire your confidence in use of taxpayer funds, go explore impact.ach.org. Then contact your representatives about this outrageous cull.

More than well deserved recognition. You do so many amazing things!! Congrats

Thank you for this! Mind adding me as well?

Would love one as well!

Would love to borrow this! If it’s okay, how can I give you all credit?

This is wonderful! I’m glad I could help. There really isn’t a best way of writing: something that @jenniferisasi.bsky.social and @halperta.bsky.social taught me, too. The more options examples the better.

They aren’t hard limits but were helpful in knowing when to move on and when to delve more deeply. Also, an amazing sense of satisfaction to think I covered an idea or key aspect of my project rather than an abstract countdown of words.

Instead of sitting down to write “the thing”, her suggestion was: chunk sections with word counts. Every chapter of the diss was split into an introduction, historical context, case studies, etc. Then inside those were 500 words on relevant theoretical concepts, 350 on arguments, 250 on overview

4th year into the PhD I took a writing workshop type class with one of the co-chairs of my committee. She introduced me to chunking, reverse outlines, and free writing. It was the 1st time I heard that any academic writing was a process with steps and formulas, not just magic or brilliance 🤯
