November Online Writing Retreat for PhD students

November is Academic Writing Month — or #AcWriMo, as some corners of the internet call it.

Think of it as academia’s quieter, caffeine-fuelled cousin to NaNoWriMo.But unlike its fiction-writing counterpart, it’s not about daily word counts or posting screenshots of your document at midnight.

At least — not here.

This retreat is how we’re taking part:Sustainably.Socially.Without pretending we’re all productivity machines in a crisis economy.

It’s one day to:

• Log off the noise
• Reconnect with your work
• Write in real time, with real people
• Shift from “I should be writing” to “I actually wrote today”

You don’t need a perfect plan.You don’t need to be caught up.You just need a container — and a nudge back into momentum.

Whether you're riding the #AcWriMo wave or just want to stop side-eyeing your untouched draft — you're welcome here.
