Thank you for sharing about the hive writing group! A great way to conceptualize writing!

Please join us, we are always looking for fellow writers to share their process and wisdom of writing, for me it feels more like a practice rather than a skill we acquire from a workshop. I read a piece I first wrote before I started my PhD, and I can see my gentle growth over a period of two years.

Yes Hannah, just as it was intended. Thank you for your kind words. What's cooking in your kitchen this weekend?

Great read. The imposter voice gets quieter every time you choose the page. That’s the whole practice, isn’t it? The 'humming hive' sounds like exactly the kind of place I like to be.

The humming hive is a wonderful place to be, I agree, just the pure act of writing, reading and rewriting quietens the imposter voice. I have read yesterday that novice writers and well establish writers both experience fear and inadequacy, so collective support makes sense to me!

I'm doing a project that needs lots of questions to be asked. It asks that you think like a scientist in that you know you are going to fail, lots, but that is when it is working! Just keeping going a word at a time

What a fabulous project and one worth doing, I am excited to read what you come up with. Yes…just keep going and lots of self love along the way 💝 I am a scientist and a person, so I think like one but also feel like a person too.
