I have always struggled with academic writing. I've never been much or a writer, more so a creator. I prefer to make physical objects that I can use or display, writing has always been a struggle for me, but these 6 things were able to help me with my dissertation.
Creating mind maps and drawing my writing really helped. I'm not an incredibly academic person, I'm more creative than anything else, so by making art to describe my words really helped.
When I started writing my essay, by using the speech-to-text on Word, I was able to hear what I had written and it was able to help me realise what made sense or what was repeated.
Although it took a long time to listen through and then amend the mistakes, it made it a lot easier for me - I become overwhelmed when there is a lot of text on a page and I struggle to make sense of it, so this helped me and probably saved me a lot of time.
