Being the recognized originator of the term "Writing as You Go" since 2009, Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL finds that people who adopt and adapt the process report that it really an efficient way to plan, record, and analyze research findings. Although the static concepts are standard, her recommendations on the placement and process order in which to work needs to be demonstrated and is often a "light bulb" moment for researchers.

A good webinar, but it's more about "writing" than "as you go". In other words, the presenter shows a lot of what goes in to the writing, and then may offer a short tidbit advice on how to do it "as you go". Examples of "as you go" are even fewer than the tidbits of advice.
Very helpful webinar, thank you.
This has been the most useful webinar I have watched .... twice. Thank You
Very informative webinar. Elissa, your tips and suggestions were wonderful! I wish I had known some of this years ago. Although I'm well organized now, it would have saved me so much backtracking in my early genealogical days. Thank you so much!
Well prepared and kept it simple to follow.
Excellent topic and information. Instructor was engaging as well
It was excellent. Just like I learned in my genealogical writing course. Well done.
I have done research for some years, and did not apply this suggestion of "write as you go". I wish I would have realized the important of it back then. Elissa's suggestions and handout are great references to follow.
