it seems to me that academic writing resembles administration – in both cases, precedent is viewed as dangerous; best to stick to the plan, the format, tried and trusted. But, after a cursory glance, this must be called in to question because the same approach has been around for yonks and over time there has been a revolution in communication – by internet, digital media, blogging and texting. Shouldn't academic writing be open to change and progression, to move with the times without – of course – losing precious rigour?

I use field notes booklets for to-do lists, grocery lists, and reminders. Once they’re all used up, I paint every page and paste over them to turn them into mini art journals.
If you want to see the full (slowed down) video where I talk about the inspiration behind the pages and materials etc, find it HERE on my YT.
