#WritingTip: Sometimes it can be helpful to step away from the screen and do something more tactile. For instance, write out your key points on index cards and test out different structures, draft a paragraph longhand to slow yourself down, or print a draft and annotate it to plan for revision.

If you missed our conference abstract workshop @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social here's a pro tip: make sure that you identify a gap in the research and clearly state your intervention so that readers understand how you're adding to conversations in the field. What is your claim and why does it matter?
