Description:

Maintaining a steady pattern of productive writing is challenging even for the most motivated writers. This workshop will cover habits and structures that will help you hold on to your identity as a researcher and writer while still balancing your internal and external responsibilities.

Participants will learn to:

-Write in regular, moderate sessions rather than "binges." 
-Plan short and long-term writing and research goals that are specific, rather than vague.
-Use metaphors to reframe the process to something more energizing than "pushing a boulder up a hill."
-Employ structures to create oases of focused time.
-Engage in relational crafting to build support and accountability for research and writing goals.
