关于写作的写作

Dr. 詹妮弗·威尔斯

  • 从60年的写作研究中学习,以改变任何限制你的信念和相关行为.
  • 读一些文章,比如安妮·拉莫特的《新博网页》, unlock the secrets to analysis by playing around with Instagram filters, 通过寻找隐藏在视线之外的东西,思考研究的新方法.
  • Develop a whole toolkit of strategies for reading one time and remembering what you read; staying motivated when you arent feeling it; breaking large projects into small pieces; and getting the most out of apps like Forest and Habitica.
