November might be a big month for writing. For many it means taking part in National Novel Writing Month, for those in higher education it is Academic Writing Month. While the first one is aimed at boosting novel writing skills by writing 50,000 words, #AcWriMo is for boosting academic writing skills during November. Will I ever start that novel?!
