Good morning and happy Monday! I need to write, finish and submit a book chapter (last year commitment, incredibly supportive research group, I can’t decline this late in the game). Deadline is Friday.

The challenge is #1500wordsaday until Friday and then take full weekend off.
The first step (for me) is to write an Initial Outline http://www.raulpacheco.org/2020/11/writing-papers-using-initial-outlines-and-detailed-outlines/">https://www.raulpacheco.org/2020/11/w...

And then map out the writing strategy, start filling up Topic Sentences and Reflective Questions so I can get to the Detailed Outline
First step, though: CAFFEINE.

Second step, Initial Outline.

Wish me luck! #1500wordaperday

TO NOTE: I have spent YEARS thinking about water conflicts. I have all fieldwork notes, analyses, etc.

Writing this chapter should be easy because I& #39;ve spent years thinking these case studies through. Not all writing goes like this.
This important to note: the weeks, months and years you spend ruminating, thinking, reading, drafting, scribbling, pondering, all that time is WRITING TIME, it& #39;s research!

Don& #39;t think that if I can crank a chapter out in a week it& #39;s totally new. It& #39;s been simmering in my head.
