What does a singing bear have to do with Chaucer?
A lot, it turns out.
Together with Jennifer S. Carnell (HMML), we trace how the Marian chant Alma redemptoris mater shaped medieval ideas about learning — from schoolrooms to miracles to manuscript images.

I had a FANTASTICALLY productive day working on the wrong project.
Avoidance on A meant I got a complete draft of B done!
Yay for what I have in hand; weekend hours are freebies anyway, right?

Sometimes writing is going through old files and saying: done, done, use this, done.
it doesn't always feel like progress, but it is

That thing I’ve been working on all break? It’s a thing! Book chapter is live and ready for edits. But that’s NEXT weekend!
I wrote a thing, hooray, hooray!

Is there a word-phrase to describe citations that are meaningful, ones that understand the context in which what they are citing was written & that use the cited work in ways that enhance their own - the opposite of 'vanity referencing' [1/2]

"How do you get so much writing done?"
"Oh, I set deadlines on other projects and then am miraculously productive in my avoidance tasks!"
Back to real work...

My blog post today is a set of links for research on manuscripts and incunables from German-speaking lands, particularly from women's convents

Yep, that thunk was the "submit" button. It took an extra five days to get that last sentence right, but so it goes.
Done, in, and on someone else's desk for a while!
-
Well, fiddledeedee. I think that article-bud was successful and works as its own independent little thing!
I can't see it to edit it anymore, so have put it down for a few days, but I'm cautiously optimistic about its publication chances.

Had to whack it back, much like yesterday’s rose pruning. Garden sheers, guys, I was using garden sheers. Cut two complete slides and a BUNCH of explanatory detail!
But the paper is now 16 seconds under time at a measured delivery pace suited to a multilingual audience.
That’s a good job of editing accomplished!

I solved my word-count problem. I am pleased to announce that this article is having a baby…
-
Met wordcount for the day, and even did the trimming to that wordcount to make it fit the approved box-of-verbiage size.
Great feeling.
-
And happy word-counting to all who celebrate!

I went walking and solved a writing problem.
Not the one I was working on, of course…

Today's post is short, sweet, and to the point, and addresses the "when" of writing...

I've been writing blog posts about some of the interesting prayers from the Thalbach prayerbook, a 16thc manuscript probably copied by a Tertiary sister in the Bregenz convent -- nearly 300 pages in a single hand. These prayers, I'd argue, give an important glimpse into 16th c Franciscan spirituality. Today's contribution: a prayer on Mary's sorrows as redemptive

I did the thing! Done done done. Now to put it away until it comes back.
They always come back.

Today's blog post is on editing the old-fashioned way -- with scissors and tape and notecards and physical sorting
-
Use your sleeplessness effectively! I rewrote the "hook" paragraph -- successfully, I think -- and now need to construct an adapted "we argue" paragraph. And THAT will be a load off my mind!
(This article is great example of first write it to figure out what you're saying, then rewrite it to showcase your actual findings -- have you ever cowritten without that process??? I sure never have.)

Yay, the readers reports are in! I guess Saturday looks different than planned!

And just like that, the book chooses to head itself into a different (and more doable) direction
The simmer time was well worth it!

"for students like me, writing is more than a skill. It’s a form of resistance. It’s how we carve out space in institutions that weren’t built for us. And anyone who helps us do that — respectfully, ethically, collaboratively — is part of that resistance too."

Do any academic writers & teachers of #AcademicWriting know about https://www.masterpapers.com/?
They got plugged via https://www.thecanary.co/discovery/feature/2025/06/12/university-paper-writing/
There is a market, some of it reputable, for academic writing coaching so checking in here for informed thoughts.

A recent post about a library publishing guidelines on citing genAI got me thinking about when that might be appropriate (rarely) or not (almost always), and what those cites should look like when they are needed. I have a new post talking about why genAI output shouldn’t be cited in most cases and, for when they must be, giving examples from common style guides.

📢Registration for our event in Milton Keynes (UK) is open until 30 June✅
We warmly welcome in-person attendance on 09 July to ensure discussions are critical & spontaneous♨️
But online places are still available. -
What does an AI tl;dr summary afford that the writer's authored abstract doesn't (especially in cases where the writer uses the bot to write their abstract in the first place) other than satisfying an idle curiosity in how LLMs collocate the same input differently?

I'll be giving this year's keynote at #EATAW25 - alongside Suresh Canagarajah & Federico Navarro - on:

Morgen darf ich für @CoachingzonenJuttaWergen im Rahmen der #Schreibwoche einen Workshop zu #Zotero geben.
Es wird ein wilder Ritt von den Grundlagen bis ans Eingemachte. Plugins lassen wir erst mal außen vor...Bin gerade am Feinschliff der letzten Inhalte und freue mich sehr darauf!

"Introduction. This chapter offers six questions, largely without any answers [...]"
A brave opening for an academic paper! 🙃 #AcWri

Enjoyable letter in Nature Biotech about the importance of writing. Good advice, set out logically. I've already fwded to all the grad students I know...

Is the World Bank Research Observer considered refereed publication?
It's 'not traditionally peer-reviewed' but it does send papers out for review to economists (from what I understand).
What would researchers put on CVs?

Genuine Q. that betrays my ignorance & wish to ditch Ggle:
>>> how are academic citations tracked?
Go*gl* Scholar differs from, e.g., S*man*ic Scholar & Res*ar*ch Gate. And publishers report citations that don't always tally with the above.
