@RossLabUC “The proposal in the head”part is the hardest part. You’re already halfway there. Aim for two weeks so you can get someone else to read it in the last week :) good luck

@HarmitMalik Thanks for the encouragement! I am gonna certainly try to pull this off 🤣 It is definitely not my usual style of working but associate prof life has wrecked me

@RossLabUC Yep, arriving the narrative is the rate-limiting step. The rest is trivial. I once did an R21 in 4 days (funded). Staid home, lotsa coffee, and LOTR soundtrack for background.

@DsSvetlov wow that's impressive

@RossLabUC Yes it is, I’ve done it successfully, but not at all recommended 🤣🤣

@DrTodd_Hudnall 🤣🤣 yeah, I am afraid for my sanity to be honest

@RossLabUC It is. First, just #GWOP . Get Words On Paper. Don't edit at the same time. Just blurt words, ideas, phrases, etc., to get them downloaded from your brain. THEN, in a separate session, edit. Also, use a timer. And hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. You can do this.

@KarenFlemingPhD 💙 thanks for the encouragement, much needed!

@RossLabUC Very possible! You just need to start putting down whatever comes to your mind.

@RossLabUC Good to see there are others who are at this stage of writing still!

@RossLabUC Yes

@RossLabUC Prove to the world that it is

@RossLabUC You can do it!

@RossLabUC Yes, you can do it @RossLabUC !

@RossLabUC Not in academia, but please consider talk to text to get your thoughts on paper. You can do this in small of time and edit.

@RossLabUC Yes. Did one in a week that was awarded

@RossLabUC I’m going to be honest and say no. Let yourself off the hook. Hit it the next cycle and make sure to build in time to get lots of feedback and professional editing if possible. Rushed will read rushed.

@RossLabUC Right there with you! We can do it!

@RossLabUC Absolutely possible! Make that inner meangirl take a hike. She’s not you. You got this.

@RossLabUC This is one of the situations chatGPT might help. Do some word vomiting and ask it to summarize. Then you have something to start editing!
