This snippet comes from our <a href=\"https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/developmental-organizational-leadership\/\">Designing and Writing coProduction<\/a> coLAB which I lead with Sofia Kjellstr\u00f6m. Using the 7 Quality Choicepoints, I explain how the 7 different components of ART make up a publication. I also see how I could have improved my paper. Apropos Hemingway, we can always compost the shit for a next writing attempt (hmm, maybe iterating <em>after<\/em> publication is simply neurotic!)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a recent session of our &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/actionresearchplus.com\/developmental-organizational-leadership\/\">Writing coProduction<\/a>&#8221; coLAB we got to the scary part. That&#8217;s when you start to share an initial draft with peers.\u00a0 One of our participants got the ball rolling by bravely offering his initial draft. (It was a good one. Can&#8217;t wait to see the final version in print!)<\/p>\n<p>As we discovered in our dialogue, we all hear a critical voice that worms its way into our drafting efforts. It goes something like &#8230; &#8220;your contribution isn&#8217;t important.&#8221;\u00a0 Or more bluntly &#8211; and, ahem, to quote Ernest Hemingway &#8211; &#8220;your draft is shit!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Being Hemingway he said it better. This quote appears in <i>t<\/i>he 1984 posthumous memoir \u201cWith Hemingway: A Year in Key West and Cuba\u201d by Arnold Samuelson. Hemingway says: &#8220;<em>Don\u2019t get discouraged because there\u2019s a lot of mechanical work to writing. There is, and you can\u2019t get out of it. I rewrote the first part of A Farewell to Arms at least fifty times. You\u2019ve got to work it over.\u00a0The first draft of anything is shit<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hemingway was a Nobel Prize winning novelist. Yet the same advice &#8211; &#8220;there&#8217;s a lot of mechanical work&#8221; &#8211; works well for publishing ART. I suggest we start by expecting to revise and iterate, to check out good published examples and ask for critical feedback.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Drafting brings clarity, helping us find what we really want to show\/tell about our work. Of course it takes a few attempts.\u00a0Let&#8217;s take it easy on ourselves as we gear up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Know that probably all writers feel tortured by the question of making a contribution. There is, I believe, a special ARTist torture because we serve a dual agenda: pragmatic as well as theory\/practice contribution.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s amazing how long it takes to write a good paper (that&#8217;s its own topic). Yea, writing is hard. It really helps to have critical-friends in this work. So share your best drafts and prepare for truthful, timely, useful and kindly worded feedback.<\/p>\n<p>My thanks to the coLAB participants for the conversation and inspiration. Happy writing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this video snippet I walk us through drafting a paper for publication.
