yes there's an interesting cross-tension = even though the academics often write less engagingly they have a better sense of length and of how to deliver to a class of bored infants students, while the journos write better but have next to no delivery skeez

(tho it's actually not that cut and dried, and plenty of the papers were good both ways)

I'm in a writing group and I've discovered that I can't read for shit, all the various tones of voices, shades of meaning, etc. that I put into my writing to make my writing read as a voice don't help my actual voice to sound like a voice when I'm reading. Whereas I can speak well and animatedly, even though I "um" and "you know" and [laughs] far too much (and haven't spoken much for a formal audience). I would probably go for the notes thing if I ever had a "paper" to give. But I'd try to make sure it was recorded.
