Back with a Bang: Effective Writing Strategies During The Holidays F24

Friday, December 13, 2024 14:00to15:30
 Effective Writing Strategies During The Holidays F24

Description
Would you like to sustain good writing habits during the holiday break? Would you like to find the motivation, structure, and energy that you need to keep on going when you just want to enjoy that cup of hot chocolate by the fireplace? In this workshop, we will explore a number of strategies that can help graduate students to achieve their various shorter- and longer-term writing goals. Participants will learn to identify their goals, develop ways of staying accountable to themselves and to others, foster practices of self-care, and set writing habits that work for them. The aim of this workshop is to help you find generative, sustainable, and productive ways of approaching your writing regimen — now and in the future.

Learning Outcomes
Participants will learn:
• How to develop effective strategies for identifying and advancing their writing goals
• How to stay accountable to themselves and to others
• How to foster practices of self-care
• How to find sustainable writing habits that work for them

Instructions
You will have the chance to share various writing/motivation issues that you have encountered (and/or expect to encounter over the next few weeks). Please come with a calendar and a list of writing-related goals for the upcoming break.
