Taking people out of their normal environment helps prioritise writing, and helps people gain momentum with writing projects that might have got &#8216;stuck&#8217; due to a lack of dedicated time. Frances Ryan, one of our final year students, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.francesryanphd.com\/2017\/12\/writers-block-write-now\/\">blogged about the December retreat<\/a> and how it helped her get over some writer&#8217;s block. As a group we managed to generate over 40,000 words, as well as lots of editing activity and revisions during our two and half days of writing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Based on feedback from the writing group in December we trying out some &#8216;Thesis Tuesdays&#8217; &#8211; half days on campus dedicated to getting some time writing without interruption.&nbsp;These sessions will run around a \u2018Shut up and Write\u2019 format \u2013 we will meet as a group, share our writing goals for the session, then have a couple of 90 min blocks of silent writing time. It\u2019s focused time to write, so if you want&nbsp; to join in come prepared with any resources (papers, data etc.) that you might want to refer to. You will also need to bring along your own laptop (or if you\u2019re old school \u2013 pen and paper).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The dates for the Thesis Tuesdays are:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Tue 23rd Jan \u2013 E9 Merchiston \u2013 9am-1pm<br \/>\n\u2022 Tue 27th Feb \u2013 3.D.08 Sighthill \u2013 9am-1pm<br \/>\n\u2022 Tue 20th March \u2013 E9 Merchiston \u2013 9am-1pm<br \/>\n\u2022 Tue 8th May \u2013 room tbc \u2013 9am-1pm<br \/>\n\u2022 Tue 26th June \u2013 room tbc \u2013 9am-1pm<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You are welcome to join the session with any writing project, not just a thesis!
