DP&L Episode 265: Do One Paragraph
from Defend, Publish & Lead Podcast Hosted by Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach - Defend Publish & Lead
In Episode 265, Christine Tulley offers practical advice for overwhelmed academic writers on how to make progress when time is limited by focusing on completing just one paragraph. She explains that paragraphs can serve various purposes—proposing new frameworks, introducing evidence, synthesizing literature, or challenging established views—and that working on a single paragraph is a manageable, non-threatening way to advance your writing even in small fragments of time. Tulley emphasizes that paragraphs have singular goals and typically take less than a full page, making them ideal units for focused work during brief writing sessions, and she encourages writers to start with key structural paragraphs or troublesome ones that need revision, noting that these small efforts accumulate toward completing larger projects.
