Writing together
New dates for the shared writing time coming soon! We will use the Pomodoro technique, which means four 25-minute focused writing sprints/work periods alternated with 5-minute breaks.
All are welcome who are writing, reading, researching, or working on a project. It doesn't have to be a scientific paper! Participation also works without a camera and microphone, via chat only (e.g. in the library). You can also join for single sessions only. Possible distractions such as the smartphone should be avoided during the entire time.
There is no writing counselation during the shared writing time. The focus is on the motivation to write, the development of a writing routine and the mutual exchange.
Participation is open to everyone and is possible without registration via this link: https://uni-bamberg.zoom.us/j/68104759072
