191: When Your Writing Practice Is Resilient, You Don’t Have To Be

No matter how much we prioritize writing and publications, writing gets derailed. Sometimes it's because of professional obligations like grading or committee events. Other times derailments are unpredictable like illness. It is impossible to avoid derailment, so don’t fight it. Instead, work on creating a resilient writing practice!   In today’s episode I cover a key topic in the Navigate program: the importance of a resilient writing practice. It is crucial that you have a positive relationship with writing and the skills to be able to stop and start writing without feeling overwhelmed or burned out. So tune in to learn how a resilient writing practice is beneficial for academics and how to foster a more productive writing mindset.   For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast/191.   CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Our 12-week Navigate: Your Writing Roadmap® program helps tenure-track womxn and nonbinary professors to publish their backlog of papers so that their voice can have the impact they know is possible.
