Raul Pacheco-Vega on Academic Writing, and Breaking With Usual Practices

Raul Pacheco-Vega has several posts on his blog about academic writing.

He’s long been an advocate of the model of writing every day, in his case in a carefully-scheduled block, often first thing in the morning.

In these posts he reflects on a break in his usual practice, of 'binge-writing', on the practice of 'Write first, edit later, and edit by hand' and then on the idea of slow-scholarship - sparked by ideas in a collaborative paper entitled 'For Slow Scholarship: A Feminist Politics of Resistance through Collective Action in the Neoliberal University'.

All worth a look, with several links in each.
