Explicit writing goal, week 001 (Oct 5th 2014)

Reading through notes taken in induction week, there’s a wonderful bit of advice – the people who do well tend to be the ones who work hard (that’s easy) and who set explicit weekly goals (not easy).

Here’s my first weekly goal.  Ask me how it went…

I am going to write 3500 words which map out a narrative (which is more than a timeline!), with peaks and troughs/accelerations and slowdowns for the period 1988 to 2014 re climate change
– Longitudinal, periods over time, contrasts over time (what needs to be explained)
– Some of the “dirty politics” of what fossil fuel/allies lobbies have done.
