A piece of advice I always give to folks who attend my writing workshops:
“When you’re stuck and can’t write, READ. Then write your notes of what you just read. Respond to the notes you wrote in a separate document (different to your notes). Now you have some fodder to keep the writing momentum”.
I saw Kate Crawford, Kishonna Gray and a bunch of other researchers I knew as “experts” in Grammarly. Sorry didn’t screenshot it all but here’s a screen recording me and Kishonna made last week. jilltxt.net/temp/grammar...

The only reason I have stayed (mostly) sane as an academic is because when I took my first job, my family said, "Bloom where you're planted." If you knew my fam, you'd know that's the last thing I'd have expected to hear. But it set me up to just do the work I wanted to do, not climb or compare.
Let's connect! I will be a Visiting Fellow in the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore. I'll be in Singapore from 23 August to 7 September 2025. I'll be talking about the findings of ARC DECRA Fellowship and collab w/ scholars. See you!
