Hannah vs. the (overdue) paper she is co-authoring #AcademicSky @academic-chatter.bsky.social #writing

Ooh, this looks incredibly interesting!! Will add it to my reading list 📝 🗣💬 #bilingual #multilingual #children #langsky

1. outline more 2. do warmups, like an athlete or artist 3. teaching writing, and taking your students' writing seriously, will also improve your own (if you remember to take your own advice, or are lucky enough to get a very sassy student to repeat your advice back to you) 4. coauthoring is fun
