4th year into the PhD I took a writing workshop type class with one of the co-chairs of my committee. She introduced me to chunking, reverse outlines, and free writing. It was the 1st time I heard that any academic writing was a process with steps and formulas, not just magic or brilliance 🤯

And once you figure it out, it’s so formulaic! Love that.

What’s chunking?

Omg do I wish I’d had access to that class
