Abstract

In this article, we describe what we’ve learned about writing through the development of our academic-creative writing group, a community initiated during the first lockdown of Spring 2020. Called The 100s, we adopted and adapted a format of writing popularised by the writer-theorists Lauren Berlant and Kathleen Stewart in their publication, The Hundreds. Together, we share individually written creative reflections on everyday life and theory aloud and on a collaborative platform. As per the name, the wordcounts must be exact multiples of a 100: either 100 or multiple 100s, nothing in-between. With duration and regularity, our group’s development provoked reflection on the organised and organising proclivities of writing in academic environments. Here we expand on five insights precipitated by this solo-collective writing experiment for a more humane approach to academic production: embracing diverse writing rhythms; socialising writing; socialising reading; being deliberative with technology; experimenting with orality.
