Key thing to remember?
Have fun!
Tweetchats are sharing, informal conversations with your colleagues and peers. You get to know who's in the challenge, and how they're tackling it.
After the tweetchat, you can follow your fellow participants throughout Academic Writing Month using the #LTUacwrimo tag, and continue your conversations!
When you meet up online for the second tweetchat on the 30 November, you can share your month's experiences and see how everyone went.
We're looking forward to chatting with you!
