Show Up and Write! Weekly online co-writing session

Description:

Lock in some focused writing time on your thesis!

Simply Show-up and write!

Join your fellow research students and use your virtual co-presence to help focus, motivate, and commit to solid writing periods. 

Whether in person or via a video call, having others present helps model the behaviour that we want to ourselves to do. Social presence also provides gentle accountability. 

How it works:

  • Say hi at the start, and if you like, share a writing goal that you're working on. Then simply start writing. 
  • Keep your microphone off, but if it's ok, leave your camera on so that others can benefit from your presence, too.

We've currently set this session for every Tuesday 9am-11am, Sydney time, and are trialling these times for February. See Saturdays for a second weekly session. 

If you'd like to see sessions at alternative times, please email gr.experience@mq.edu.au OR simply post in the MQ Graduate Researchers Online (Join the group here).
