Something Different:

There is now an Inkshed group on Facebook --- if --- my Chinese
connection addeded it. It seemed a bit odd.

> Graham, thanks very much for sending the link to the Scholarly Writing

> However, unlike Graham, it seems, I would particularly appreciate the

>
> This might not need to be a full-day stream, but perhaps one long afternoon

> was like going to an art musuem for 8 hours straight, 3 days
> straight--trying hard to take everything in, to be alert, not to miss
> anything--but my eyes are popping out of my head & I'm on sensory overload

> I'd benefit from a focused period of time right after CASDW to look through

> possible links between different sessions--or links to my research and
> teaching), and then to read and respond to the conference inksheds of
> others.  I'm sure that in participating in a few rounds of such inkshedding
> with others and talking about it together, I'd discover things I'd missed in
> CASDW (both about sessions I couldn't attend--as well as sessions I did!)
> and that I'd also return to my home institution much clearer about how I was
> going to integrate what I had heard at CASDW into my teaching, research
> and/or administrative work.
>
> What seems most valuable to me about Inkshed is that instead of just talking
> about writing (esp. writing as a way of thinking and exploring)--as happens
> at almost every conference about writing I know of--Inkshedders actually do
> write, actually practice what scholars in writing studies preach.  They make
> the time for that rough "shaping at the point of utterance" that helps
> capture ideas in formation, glimmers and possible connections/contradictions
> that might otherwise be lost. And they take the risk of sharing that
> unpolished track of their thinking with others immediately. I also
> especially appreciate having my own inkshedding--with highlighting and/or
> marginal comments-- to take home with me, to read through later and possibly
> develop further).
>
> I have to say also that I like the idea of streams.  Those who don't find
> inkshedding as helpful as I do (or who process information much more quickly

> co-facilitator).
