Rainy #AcWri Saturday today at my local coffee shop doing the tedious but necessary work of making sure all of my citations are listed in the references section of my book Gendering the Saeima: the Politics of Women's Representation in Latvia. 🇱🇻
Abdul has spent the last two hours writing and rewriting one paragraph. He thinks he’s finally got it just right. Tomorrow his supervisor will tell Abdul this whole section isn’t needed. Abdul will be sad. Poor Abdul. #PhDForum #acwri

“The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It’s not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work.”
— Augusten Burroughs

Today's word (25/03/2025) is TRADITION: a custom, practice, or belief followed by a particular group. More, with example sentences, at www.writing.support/academic-wor...
#AcWri #AcademicWriting #TESOL #AcademicSky #EduSky
How does a developmental editor cut a too-long article?
I needed to cut 3,500 words.
1: Eliminate redundancy and wordiness (-1000).
2: Cut larger sections that didn't fully support the argument (-2000).
3: Refine, marking additional repetitiveness.
How do you do it?
