SEMINAR DESCRIPTION: Writing is one of the core, if not THE core activity in academia. Developing a writing practice is often a challenging process, given that it requires us to, acquire a disciplined approach to putting words on a page.

I will show you how writing by memorandums can help you create a more sustainable, long-term writing practice and make out of the process of writing an enjoyable journey.
